Recreational/sport spearfishing (pesca subacquea sportiva-ricreativa) is legal in Italy in marine waters but heavily regulated. It is permitted only in free-diving / breath-hold (apnea) without any auxiliary breathing apparatus (scuba is prohibited for fishing). A speargun (fucile subacqueo) is permitted but may be held loaded only while submerged. Only persons over 16 years of age may use a speargun. Fishing is banned at night (from sunset to sunrise), within 500 m of beaches frequented by swimmers, and within 100 m of fixed fishing installations, anchored vessels and set nets. The diver must mark his position with a buoy bearing a red flag with a white diagonal stripe visible at 300 m and stay within a 50 m radius of it. Daily catch is capped at 5 kg total per person (plus one larger single fish) with a maximum of one grouper per day. National minimum sizes (EU Reg. 2019/1241) and EU protected-species rules apply. Since January 2026 recreational fishers over 16 must register and (for certain species) declare catches under EU Reg. 2023/2842 / the EU RecFishing system, in addition to the existing free MASAF recreational-fishing registration. Spearfishing is forbidden in no-take Zone A of all Marine Protected Areas and is generally prohibited or restricted to professionals/residents in other MPA zones.

ملاحظات الباحث
Italy permits recreational spearfishing but classifies it as 'restricted' due to numerous binding conditions: apnea only, daylight only, age 16+, 500 m/100 m exclusion zones, mandatory signalling buoy, 5 kg daily cap, one grouper/day, and full prohibition inside Marine Protected Area no-take (Zone A) and generally Zone B areas. The core verbatim legal texts (DPR 1639/1968 arts. 128 bis, 129, 130, 131, 142; D.Lgs 4/2012 art. 6) were captured from cited secondary legal-compilation sources; the official MASAF PDF of DPR 1639/1968 is listed as an authoritative source but its exact article wording was cross-checked against secondary sources rather than quoted from the PDF directly. From 10 January 2026 the EU RecFishing system (Reg. UE 2023/2842) adds mandatory registration and catch declaration for certain species (bluefin/albacore tuna, swordfish, mahi-mahi, eel) for recreational fishers over 16. Minimum sizes follow EU Reg. 2019/1241. Confidence is high for the national framework; specific MPA-by-MPA rules vary by individual decree and should be checked per area before fishing.
