This move will make Uber available in over 80 towns and cities in Italy.
The company has been making headlines around the globe over the past few days, as leaked data pervades media outlets.
Data from the Uber Files investigation has revealed that Uber allegedly engaged in a swathe of backroom deals, employed aggressive lobbying tactics that targeted politicians and dodged taxes in multiple countries.
Italian taxi drivers were outraged by the investigation and struck without warning on Tuesday, generating havoc in several cities.
Travellers were left stranded at airports and traffic was left at a standstill.
The drivers have been protesting often over the past few weeks, as the government seeks to deregulate the protected taxi industry.
Drivers feel that the bill would threaten their livelihoods, as it would open up the industry to online ride-sharing services.
While Uber does currently offer its services in Italy, it does so on a limited basis, in cities such as Rome and Florence.
