So, I'm flying to Germany and Italy this summer. I've had two vaccines and two boosters and CDC cards for all. Are airlines still requiring a covid test before boarding for the US??

The airlines aren't requiring the test, the US is. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/testing-international-air-travelers.html
I just flew Prague-Munich-Denver. Had to show test results when checking in and again before boarding flight from Munich.

The CDC currently requires a negative test or recovery letter to enter the US. No way to know if this will still be required this summer.

I have purchase Binax Abbot Now / emed version for self test proctored.
Lufthansa's website does not specify "specific vendors" just states that it is allowed. Anyone have used this for re-entry to US, flying Lufthansa?

You should be fine with that test.
Lufthansa is a United partner and United has recommendations/links to that particular test on their website.

Just returned from Bologna (4 months). I returned from Italy twice in 2020 and 3 times in 2021. This was the first time that NO ONE asked to see my Covid test results for the flight back to US. I flew Bologna to Munich to Charlotte. I was surprised.

Airline doesn't but USA does. Funnliy, like above, two weeks ago, Lufthansa asked for a verbal yes on if i had done a covid test but NO one checked or asked for the actual test!
this is different from United which wanted me to upload the test (early April) and they looked a a soft copy too.
