Yes it does.
Compare Article 5 of the United Nations Convention on
the Law of the Sea in the English and Italian
versions:
(English)
http://www.globelaw.com/LawSea/ls82_1.htm#part_ii_territorial_sea_and_contigu
Except where otherwise provided in this Convention,
the normal baseline for measuring the breadth of the
territorial sea is the LOW-WATER LINE along the coast
as marked on large-scale charts officially recognized
by the coastal State
(Italian)
http://www.marina.difesa.it/glossario/glossario/glossario174.htm
Salvo diversa disposizione della presente Convenzione,
la linea di base normale dalla quale si misura la
larghezza del mare territoriale è la LINEA DI BASSA
MAREA lungo la costa, come indicata sulle carte
nautiche a grande scala ufficialmente riconosciute
dallo Stato costiero.
