Afaik, there's no such law in Italy. Ask them which law it is.

I've been running an exit node for a few years on ngi.it. Never
heard from them. My node has been down for a few weeks for hardware
problems, but I plan to put it back on line soon.
According with http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/, almost any major ISP
in Italy connects some exit node. Kiss Seflow goodbye and be happy. :-)
