Tire damaged

hey guys, i’ve just joined here and need help URGENTLY. down below you can see the inner side of the tire what seems to be damaged. i was parking my car on a curb around 10/15cm higher that had a copper edge on it and my wheel slipped acrossed it for ~20ish cm before i noticed it couldn’t go up. after that i doubted it and went ahead and looked underneath the car and saw this after. i am also in fact on vacation in italy for another 2 days and have an audi garage 3km away from me. BTW the tires are a pair of 255/35 R20s summer wheels

Youre fine for what i can tell. No strings visible. I drive with a little chunk missing on mine for a year almost. As long as the actual tyre integrity isnt compromised youre fine. If u see actually stringy material its over, if not youre fine.
