Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party has introduced legislation that could see Italians fined up to €100,000 ($108,705) for using English or other foreign words in official communications. The bill, which is yet to go to parliamentary debate, requires public office holders to have written and oral knowledge of the Italian language and prohibits the use of English in official documentation, including “acronyms and names” of job roles in companies operating in Italy. The legislation also requires foreign entities to have Italian-language editions of internal regulations and employment contracts. The draft bill states that Anglomania has negative consequences for society and requires Italian to be the primary language used in offices dealing with non-Italian-speaking foreigners. The Culture Ministry would establish a committee to oversee the “correct use” of the Italian language in schools, media, commerce and advertising.
