The Cassation Court, whose rulings set legal precedents, said any comparison of a woman to the intern who rocked Bill Clinton's White House in the late '90s was strictly off-limits.
In its ruling, the court ordered a retrial in the case of a southern Italian lawyer who was sued for accusing a Puglia woman of having a ''Lewinskian nature''.
Gennarina M. was angry that a lower court let the lawyer get away with the jibe, ruling that being compared to Lewisnky was not libellous. She demanded a new trial and ''considerable'' damages.
The relationship, if any, between Gennarina and the lawyer did not emerge during the trial and appeal.
Officials only disclosed that Gennarina sued the lawyer after seeing the derogatory description - which also accused her of ''uterine ramblings'' - in a legal document.
