Rome, March 25 (LaPresse) – Giving children only the mother's surname, as "compensation" after "centuries in which children have taken the father's surname" and "women have suffered injustice and gender discrimination." This is the goal of the bill that Dario Franceschini will present to the Senate in the coming days. The former Minister of Culture, it is reported, discussed this this morning during the assembly of Democratic senators convened to examine the proposed laws under review by the Senate Justice Committee. These include four texts presented by Unterberger (Autonomies), Malpezzi (PD), Maiorino (M5S), and Cucchi (Avs) that aim to regulate the assignment of surnames to children following the 2021 Constitutional Court ruling. "Rather than creating endless problems with the management of double surnames or choosing between the father's and mother's surnames," Franceschini is said to have reasoned, announcing his intention to present a new bill, "let's establish that, from the entry into force of the new law, children will take only the mother's surname."
