One other reason I heard involves basic Italian business economics. Once you hire someone, it's almost impossible to get rid of them, taxes are higher and there are benefits to pay (so the story went). As such, all the incentives are to have contract workers, not permanent employees. This is in my "unconfirmed hear-say" category, if anyone has something to add, please chime in.
