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…
Reati-presupposto e applicabilità della legge Severino: considerazioni a margine della sentenza della Corte costituzionale n. 35 del 2021
2021
The article examines the recent decision of the Italian Constitutional Court (n. 35/2021), concerning the so-called «Legge Severino» (that provides for the ineligibility of those sentenced to certain crimes). It tackles the still-resisting doubts on the constitutional legitimacy of the above-mentioned statute law. It considers the asserted lack of proportionality caused within its application after certain non-final rulings, because of the unlikelihood of their becoming final convictions.
Le leggi retroattive
2023
The monograph analyzes the limits of retroactive laws as determined by the Italian Constitutional Court. It questions whether these are operational limits and tries to emphasize how they are related to a taxonomy of legislative retroactivity accepted by the Court itself, which is still anchored in a formal approach to the issue of legislative retroactivity. An attempt is made, then, to enhance the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights, which push for the acceptance of a substantive approach to the issue.
Libertà personale e libertà di circolazione tra emergenza presente e incertezza futura
2023
The article deals with the notion of personal freedom as it is regulated by art. 13 of Italian Constitution, drawing the main differences with other fundamental rights, in particular with the freedom of movement (art. 16 Cost.). To this end, the paper explores the main doctrinal orientations and the most recent constitutional case-law on the subject; specifically, it proposes a reading of the motivational points of the judgment n. 127 of 2022 of the Italian Constitutional Court which resolved some touchy issues of constitutionality that arose during the pandemic emergency. In conclusion, the text questions, with a look at the near future, on the usability of traditional tools for the protec…
Parole e potere. Libertà d'espressione, hate speech e fake news
2017
indagine in tema di libertà di espressone che parte dalle origini del costituzionalismo contemporaneo e si muove poi lungo le coordinate relative alla giurisprudenza della Corte suprema statunitense e delle Corti europee, nel processo di transizione dell’esercizio di diritti e libertà fondamentali dal mondo degli atomi a quello dei bit. investigation on the subject of freedom of expression that starts from the origins of contemporary constitutionalism and then moves along the coordinates relating to the jurisprudence of the US Supreme Court and the European Courts, in the transition process of the exercise of fundamental rights and freedoms from the world of atoms to that of bits.
Alcune osservazioni sull’effettività del principio delle pari opportunità
2021
Observations on the principle of equal opportunities effectiveness The aim of this brief paper is to analyse the path to achieving gender balance (provided by Art. 51 of the Italian Constitution) in the Italian constitutional system. Departing from the Italian Constitutional Court judgement no. 4/2010, various Italian administrative court decisions will be examined. In addition, the recent Italian State Council judgement no. 4294/2021 will also be analysed: it declared that the gender balance principle is immediately mandatory and it does not need to be given legal effect by Parliament.
Leggi retroattive di contenimento della spesa pubblica e giusto processo (a margine della sentenza della Corte costituzionale n. 12 del 2018)
2018
The essay is about limits imposed to the legislature to enact retroactive statute law in “civil matters”. It tackles the dichotomy existing between the European Court of Human Rights’ and the Italian Constitutional Court’s jurisprudence on the theme. The first one has repeatedly ruled that the legislature is not prevented from regulating, through new retrospective provisions, rights derived from the laws in force. Nevertheless, the principle of the rule of law and the notion of a fair trial enshrined in Article 6 of the European Convention of Human Rights preclude, except for compelling public-interest reasons, interference by the legislature with the administration of justice designed to i…

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…
Do common constitutional traditions matter in the field of regulated markets?
2019
A new tension is spreading throughout Europe: the tension between Common Constitutional Traditions (CCTS) and Constitutional Identity (CI). Recent cases brought before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), which have gone to the core of European Integration, have revealed this tension. In particular, this tension was highlighted in the “Taricco saga” and in the more recent cases concerning the independence of the judiciary in Poland. The rulings concerning the first group of cases use the concept of CCTS in a quite conventional way, that is, with regard to fundamental rights. The essay examines the possibility that the complex relationship between the CCTS and CI will affect ot…
