ROME (Reuters) - Italy has made its first direct reference to prostitution in the business classification it uses for data collection and tax purposes, the national statistics institute said, including escort services, events and the management of premises.
Prostitution in Italy lies in a limbo where individuals are allowed to offer sex services, but that activity lacks specific rules. On the other hand, organising sex workers such as in a brothel is strictly prohibited.
