The city of Milan appealed to a court in Lombardy against the decision to rename the city's main airport after the late Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.
In this way, the city authorities are trying to block the initiative of the Italian Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini, to name Milan's airport after Berlusconi, the Guardian reports.
It usually takes 10 years after a famous person's death before a public place can be named after him.
The mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala claims that Salvini did this without involving the company that manages the airport - SEA or the local councils.
Thousands of people have signed a petition calling on the government to stop the plan to rename Milan's Malpensa airport and there have been protests against it.
