Police found her living in "horrendous hygiene conditions" in a rural home outside Santa Maria Capua Vetere, north of Naples.
She had been held since 1990 when her family learned she was pregnant and she refused to divulge the name of the father.
An unidentified nine-year-old Japanese schoolgirl was snatched in November 1990 and spent nine years trapped on the second floor of her abductor's home in Kashiwazaki, north of Tokyo.
