The Italian model of linguistic rights is based on one of the fundamental principles of the 1948 Constitution: “The Republic protects linguistic minorities through specific norms” (art. 6). This remarkable de jure of linguistic minorities (historical, namely former settlements on Italian soil), is explained by the fact that the Italian Constitution is openly anti-fascist and must, among other things, implement real reparation history towards the country's ethnic minority communities, stigmatized and persecuted during Mussolini's regime.
