That sounds very much illegal. I mean employing people under these temperatures.

Definitely should be. I'm not Italian, but I know other European countries that have temperature thresholds for work

In Poland we got minimum temp to work, but not maximum. Above certain degree, employer must provide free drinking water but there is no law that we can leave work if its hot enough.
