Time is precious. a rare and limited commodity. Researchers should devote it first and foremost to research, then to teaching. Increasing bureucratic loads, unpaid, should be avoided, especially when unnecessary or, worse, self-damaging, like in this case. Italian scholarship in the humanities has long reached outstanding levels in its own language, Italian. Whoever is interested in learning Italian methods in research (at least in the humanities) should also speak Italian fluently. For centuries (16th-18th at least) Italian has been the language of culture throughout Europe. Whoever wishes to attend classes in Italy should be fluent in Italian. Any nation endowed with self-respect (from Slovenia to Quebec) invests money in preserving her language. Only Italy and her Ministries of Culture have set up an infernal machine destroying our excellence to the benefit of third (foreign) parties. This is unacceptable and against the constitutional rights of University professors. It is not only a right, but a duty to abstain from complying with unacceptable impositions. It is correct to ask academics to speak and/or understand some foreign languages, but it is degrading to oblige them surreptistiously to comply with impositions that help degrade our international standing in the humanities. I think I have hereby proven that I can speak English fluently, but I do refuse to waste my time translating everything I have written in Italian into a different language, granting English (or French, or German) a position which was  ours. No, thank you. In case, improve the standards of our students' Italian: it is usually pathetic. If you can't master your mothertongue, you shall never be able to cope with a foreign one. And you shall never be able to express or even form your own thoughts correctly. This is the real issue.
