In Italy the state law No. 482/1999 (Norme in materia di tutela delle minoranze linguistiche storiche”), which puts into practice the fundamental principle on the protection of minorities provided by art. 6 of the Constitution, recognises some minorities but not all. For example Romanos and Sinto languages are not recognised among the historical-linguistic minorities protected on a level of full equality.
