Italy's economy grew by 0.2% in the second quarter from the previous three months, preliminary data showed on Tuesday, in line with forecasts.

On a year-on-year basis, second quarter gross domestic product in the euro zone's third largest economy was up 0.9%, national statistics bureau ISTAT said, in line with a Reuters survey.
