In Italy, laboratory tests (analisi di laboratorio) such as blood tests (esami del sangue) and urine cultures (urinocoltura) typically require a medical prescription (impegnativa) from your general practitioner or specialist. However, many private laboratories offer certain tests without a prescription, especially for routine check-ups. It’s advisable to contact the laboratory in advance to confirm their requirements.
