Renting a car in Italy. Time limits?

Hello. We are going to Italy in March and are renting a car. After initially booking a car with Hertz for 3 weeks, we decided to extend our trip to 31 days. Hertz says it can't rent a car to us for longer than 27 days. I'm not sure why or if it is a law in Italy? Anyone else experience this?

You should look into a short-term lease, available for pick-up Milan, Rome and Nice. It's more expensive but worry-free with a brand new car and full no deductible insurance and no additional driver fee. Auto Europe Long Rental

A rental beyond 30 days is considered 'medium term' and must be reported to 'the authorities', according to one rental website I visited. Some rental agencies explain that their 30 day contract can be renewed online or by phone.
