Don't mispronounce "bruschetta" in Italy - could cost you

Italy’s ruling party has had it with the bastardization of their language and is seeking to pass a new law asking people to say ciao to English words and to show Italian food some real amore.

According to CNN, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing Brothers of Italy party is seeking to impose fines of up to 100,000 euros, or about $109,000, for people who use phrases or words in languages other than Italian in official communications.

The proposed law seeks to stop “Anglomania,” which the bill’s text says “demeans and mortifies” Italian language and culture, and could even penalize Italians who mispronounce words like “bruschetta.”
