The four, three freelancers and a reporter working for the Italian public broadcaster RAI, had been abducted early this month while out filming in northern Syria.
Monti's statement did not provide any details of how they were released, only thanking those involved for professionalism that "has enabled a positive outcome of this affair, which was made all the more complicated by the extreme danger of the situation."
The journalists were currently in Turkey, from where they were expected to leave for home shortly, a foreign ministry official said.
"They are in Turkey right now," a Turkish foreign ministry official told AFP on condition of anonymity. "We are in touch with the Italian authorities, we will make sure they can return home as soon as possible."
In February, an Italian citizen and two Russians kidnapped on December 12 in the west of Syria were freed as part of an exchange for militants.
Abductions for religious, political or purely financial reasons are becoming increasingly frequent in war-torn Syria.
Syria's government on April 2 offered kidnappers an amnesty deal, giving them 15 days to hand over victims or face sentences ranging from life with hard labour to execution, if their victims were murdered or sexually abused.
