Smoking is already banned in playgrounds, sports fields, zoos, and theme parks.
But health officials still felt tougher actions were needed to stay on track to achieve their 2040 target.
Violators face fines ranging from 40 to 240.
Nationwide, around 24% of Italians still smoke, according to data from last year.
An estimated 93,000 deaths per year are attributed to smoking-related illnesses, according to the health ministry.
Italy enacted its first public smoking restrictions back in 1975.
