The Court of Appeal of Rome "denies" a 2019 decree of the Ministry of the Interior, led at the time by Matteo Salvini, and condemns him "to apply the wording parents or other wording that corresponds to the gender of the parent on the documents electronic identities issued to minors".
The Famiglie Arcobaleno association announced this in a note: the Capitoline judges of second instance, it is explained, «have reiterated a very simple concept, personal data other than those shown in the registers cannot be indicated on a child's identity card of the civil status".
A decree signed by Salvini in 2019 imposed the words father and mother on the documents instead of "parents": a couple of mothers turned to the TAR of Lazio and the Court of Rome demanding the issuance of an identity document that reflects the real composition of their family. Already at first instance the Court had accepted the mothers' request, declaring the decree effectively illegitimate as the document issued "integrates the material details of the crime of ideological falsehood committed by the public official in a public act".
