In case you wanted to know!

In Italy, oral contraceptives, including the birth control pill, require a medical prescription and are categorized as "C" by the Italian Pharmaceutical Agency. While not generally free, some Italian regions provide free or subsidized access to oral contraceptives, often for specific groups like young women, those who have had abortions, or those with income exemptions. Emergency contraception (the morning-after pill) is available over-the-counter at pharmacies without a prescription.
