It is time for a law change to let
children choose their mother's surname instead of their
father's, Equal Opportunities and Family Minister Elena Bonetti
said Thursday.
"It's is time to let women's names go down in history," she
said.
Bonetti was speaking at a conference marking the 60th
anniversary of a high court ruling that opened up Italy's
principal careers to women.
Women in Italy generally keep their surnames but children are
named after their fathers.
