Italian officials better start pronouncing 'bruschetta' correctly or they could face up to a six-figure fine.
New legislation introduced recently by Italy’s right-wing ruling party seeks to ban the use of English words — and Anglicized pronunciations of Italian words — in government communications, at schools, in the media, or in advertising., Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has given her blessing to the proposed legislation in the name of protecting the Italian language and the country’s national identity.
The tweet, which was written in Italian and translated with computer assistance, was accompanied by a clip from the chamber in which a speaker uses the word “dispenser.” The bill also calls for university classes to be taught in Italian — unless the subject is a foreign language — and requires all public officials must have “written and oral knowledge and mastery of the Italian language.”
