Italy proposes new law to ban English language, violators will face fines up to $150K

The Italian government has introduced a draft bill in the Parliament that proposes to impose penalties up to $150K on public and private entities that use foreign languages, especially English, instead of Italian in official communications.

The draft bill calls for the protection and promotion of the Italian language and asserts that English “demeans and mortifies” Italians. It also calls for all public and private organizations to use the language of Dante, the 14th Century poet known as the father of the Italian language, to market their products and services, Reuters reported.

Additionally, this bill mandates that all employment titles and acronyms used by Italian-based businesses must be written in the country's native language, with the exception of any foreign words that are deemed impossible to translate.

The bill was proposed by members of Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's nationalist Brothers of Italy party.
