ROME, March 31 — Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s party has proposed imposing fines of up to €100,000 euros on public and private entities which use foreign terms, most notably English, instead of Italian in official communications.
The bill was presented by lawmakers from Meloni’s nationalist Brothers of Italy party and will have to be approved by both houses of parliament to become law. There was no indication of when this might happen. It also stipulates that all names and acronyms indicating jobs in companies operating in Italy should be spelt out in the local language, with foreign words only allowed if they prove to be impossible to translate.
If the draft becomes law, the government might have to get its own house quickly in order. When it took office last October, it added the English term “Made in Italy” to the name of the industry minister, while Meloni herself occasionally drops foreign words into her speeches.
