El consentimiento en el proceso penal : ¿un oxímoron?
2021
We are involved in a moment of deep changes in Criminal Procedure due, among other reasons, to the permanent expansion of Criminal Law. Legislative modifications have taken place one another over the world and they have led to a functional reformulation of the role played by the protagonists of Criminal Procedure. These changes have not finished yet and the future is still to come, but new elements are already emerging: the consent of the actors of the process and of the victims and the reinforcement of the principle of opportunity are undoubtedly some of them. Probation, diversion, compliance, criminal mediation are institutions that stand on the principle of consent for procedural purpose…

The defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in the Italian criminal justice system
2021
The criminal law standard of Beyond A Reasonable Doubt (BARD) constitutes an evidentiary and judicial rule, formulated and applied for centuries in common law jurisdictions, which was expressly stated in the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure only about fifteen years ago. Unfortunately, the concept of reasonable doubt is inherently complex and does not easily lend itself to definition or refinement. In this regard, the Author examines especially the various positions and elaborations developed by legal literature and case-law in Italy, proposing a specific interpretation of the BARD rule that enhances and completes the particular procedural connotations of the adversarial system adopted i…
Fair Trial e "giusto processo" italiano
2016
Il contributo esplora le sequenze storiche e le dinamiche culturali dell’innesto, nella cultura giuridica italiana, della categoria concettuale del “giusto processo”, dal primo affacciarsi del concetto nel dibattito dottrinale della seconda metà del novecento al suo consolidarsi, anche grazie alla giurisprudenza costituzionale, dapprima alla stregua di una ricostruzione interna condotta in chiave autarchica, di seguito, e sempre più consapevolmente, alla luce del canone sovranazionale del fair trial e del case law della Corte di Strasburgo; il punto di svolta, più che nelle sentenze “gemelle” del 2007, è individuato nel varo del “nuovo” art. 117 Cost. e nel successivo stratificarsi di nuove…

By means of very rare manuscripts and precious historical sources (dating back even to the 16th century), this book aims to reconstruct the varied and complex phenomenon of the Inquisition, with particular scientific reference to the events that took place and unfolded in Sicily through the centuries.

Certezza del giudizio, della colpevolezza e del giudicato: l'essenza triadica della cognizione ordinaria penale
2022
The essay aims to analyse the value of certainty in relation to the criminal proceeding of ordinary cognition. In particular, the Author intends to deepen the variegated and complex role that the legal certainty assumes, respectively, in the context of judgment, guilt and res judicata. This will allow to highlight the subtle but indestructible fil rouge running along the three souls of the jurisdiction in criminalibus, which brings into play the most essential interests, freedoms and values of an individual.
Właściwość sądów w sprawach karnych w Polsce w latach 1928-1939
2013
The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1928 provided three types of jurisdiction: material, topical and functional. In general, legal solutions adopted in the Code including provisions on material jurisdiction should be viewed positively. The regulations covered all the cases the Polish courts could hypothetically come across in practice, procedurally solving many issues connected with it. The most important cases included: the invalidity of judgments issued by the improper court, the jurisdiction of the magistrates courts, the determination of the topical jurisdiction of the courts, the aggregate consideration of cases, and resolving conflicts of jurisdiction between common and military courts.…
