Although I don't speak Italian, I believe that the translation is this :

"Proteggere la Mia Famiglia"

It all depends on the context.
if "protect" is meant as an infinitive verb, it's correct. If it's an imperative mode, the translation is "proteggi la mia famiglia".

I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)

Normally this is an imperative form, but Roman languages have this strange thing of using an infinitive instead of an indicative or an imperative sometimes.

"Deh, proteggi mi o Dio..."
--Vincenzo Bellini, Norma.

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
