According to the Italian court's decision, the newborn will be given both parents' surnames. The implementation of the existing decision requires new legislation, which must be approved by Parliament.
According to the court, the practice of automatically assigning the father's surname to the newborn is discriminatory and harms the child's identity, so both parents should be able to choose the surname for their child.
If the parents agree on one surname, then it will no longer be necessary to assign both surnames to the child.
