Senator for the ruling Brothers of Italy party, Lavinia Mennuni, introduced the bill. She said that schools had watered down Christmas and Easter events in recent years.
"For some years now we have witnessed unacceptable and embarrassing decisions by some schools that ban Nativity scenes or modify the deep essence of Christmas by transforming it into improbable winter festivities so as not to offend believers of other religions," she said.
The bill would mean schools could not ban parents, students or other school bodies from putting on events such as Nativity plays. Those proposing the law said it was "absolutely essential to safeguard and protect [Italy’s] cultural roots, which are exemplified by the nativity scene."
