Sindacato di legittimità costituzionale e legalità penale: il delicato equilibrio tra ruolo della Corte Costituzionale e discrezionalità del legislat…
2022
The paper intends to focus on the issue of the relationship between the judgment of constitutional legitimacy and the legislator's discretionary power in criminal matters. The Constitutional Court, especially in recent years, has carried out an overall rewriting of criminal law, through rulings that have affected some of the most significant institutions, introducing a substitute regulation for that deliberated by the legislator. To achieve this result, in the name of safeguarding fundamental rights, the Constitutional Court devised new techniques of adjudication, forcing patterns that had already been established in its jurisprudence or proposing new ways of adjudication in incidental proc…
Riflessioni su soft law e autorità indipendenti anche nella prospettiva di alcune recenti pronunce giurisprudenziali
2022
Partendo dalla individuazione delle origini della soft law, il saggio tenta in prima battuta di reperirne una sua valida collocazione nel sistema delle fonti, per poi dedicarsi in particolare alla soft law delle Autorità indipendenti. Esse si pongono come nuovi soggetti regolatori di ampi segmenti del mercato, lasciati voluta- mente liberi dal Legislatore, capaci di porre in essere atti normativi e paranor- mativi che, sebbene non dotati di formale vincolatività, sono però “effettivi”, perché i regolati vi si adeguano spontaneamente avendo partecipato al procedi- mento di formazione. Questi nuovi atti, oltre che impattare con molteplici principi del costituzionali- smo contemporaneo, pongon…

The Formation of the Italian Administrative Justice System, European Common Principles of Administrative Law and “Jurisdictionalization” of Administr…
2021
The present study deals with the formation of the Italian administrative justice system, the European common principles of administrative law and the ‘jurisdictionalisation’ of administrative justice in the 19th century, providing reasons that explain why the administrative justice system achieved a citizen protection superior to that of the civil law tradition.
I criminalisti dello Stato pontificio in età barocca. Una ricerca in corso
2016
The paper presents the first results of in-depth research focusing on judges of the criminal courts in Papal State during the first half of the Seventeenth Century, with the aim to reflect, from this particular point of view, on the administration of justice in the old regime and its relationship with legal science. The analysis is based on judges of the governor’s tribunal in Rome and provides a description of their career in various criminal courts in the State and in other Italian states and different kinds of jurisdiction, and aims at assessing the relevant organization, recruitment areas and the dialectics of interests underlying the involvement of families in service and loyalty to th…
Early Confucian Legal Thought: A Theory of Natural Law?
2015
Confucianism has often been compared to natural law, mainly to its non-volunta- ristic currents. However, the possibility to include Confucianism in the group of natural law theories is problematic. Recently, a few scholars, and notably Peerenboom, have challenged the widely shared thesis that Confucius and early Confucian thinkers should be mentioned in the ranks of natural law philosophers. He contends that early Confucian jurisprudence is more profitably compared to Dworkin’s coherence theory of law than to natural law. The present article discusses three core points: the laws of nature and natural law, the connection between law and morality, and the basic epistemological assumptions pr…
Hart’s Blind Spot. Il tassello mancante in Th,e Concept of Law
2012
At the beginning of The Concept of Law Hart suggests a mistaken assimilation between conduct that is ‘non-optional’ and conduct that is ‘obligatory’ (i.e,. conduct that is either coerced or subject to an obligation). This suggested assimilation vitiates the argument of the whole book, leading Hart to neglect the different ways in which the law typically tracks, corroborates or constitutes power relations. It is true that, famously, attention is paid, in The Concept of Law, to normative, legal powers. Brute social power, and law’s relation to it—the role of law as a cog in the workings of social powers—, however, are largely overlooked. This is. in a way, Hart’s blind spot. I list some of th…

Chinese Legal Theory and Human Rights. Rearticulating Marxism, Liberalism, and the Classical Legal Tradition
2019
Does the Chinese academic discourse on human rights differ from the official one as put forward by the Chinese government? How do Chinese legal theories justify the attribution of human rights and their protection through the law in the context of an authoritarian state? Do Chinese academic theorizations on rights and the law have any capacity to influence the wider public debate in China despite the ideological constraints and censorship imposed on academics by the party in power? In order to answer these questions, this book explores the theories of law and rights by contemporary Chinese legal scholars, paying particular attention to their views on the rule of law and the explanation of r…
Financial Incentives for Living Organ Transfer?
2020
In 2012, almost 4,500 people died in the United States while waiting for kidney transplants. In 2013, 4,100 died in the European Union while officially placed on waiting lists. To solve this problem, there are essentially two ethi-cally acceptable solutions; but both have, in their current state, disadvantages. The first solution would be having financial incentives for living organ transfer. The second one would be adopting a model, like the Spanish or Cro-atian ones, which we can denominate as the «imperfect altruistic» model. En 2012, casi 4500 personas murieron en Estados Unidos mientras esperaban trasplantes de riñón. En el transcurso de 2013, 4100 pacientes murieron en la Unión Europe…
