Toržestva pri berlinskom dvore v doneseniâh sekretarâ anglijskogo posla Filippa Plantamura
2020
Celebrations were an important element in the functioning of royal and princely courts in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They added splendor to the residences in which they were held and demonstrated the status of rulers: well-directed festivities spoke of their organisers’ political status. Such events not only took place in the closed courtyards of palaces, but also in the open air, which guaranteed a larger audience and made it possible to invite the media. Such events were also observed by foreign diplomats, who described them in their reports. This type of information can be found in the correspondence of Philip Plantamour, secretary of the English Ambassador Georg…
Bitcoin e cyber self-laundering: lo sguardo sospettoso della Cassazione sull'impiego di criptovaluta
2023
In Judgment n. 27023 of 2022, the italian Supreme Court recognized the confgurability of the crime of self-money laundering in the conduct of a person who uses the proceeds of crimes committed by him to purchase bitcoin, not directly, but through the intermediation of cryptocurrency exchange companies. The Author takes the pronouncement as a starting point to probe the extent to which the culture of suspicion, with which the anti-money laundering legislation is imbued, and the stigmatization of cryptocurrency have influenced the Supreme Court's guidance, in which there emerges a strong temptation to establish a kind of automatism between the input of illicit proceeds into the bitcoin system…
“Judicial Independence vs. Judicial Accountability. Judicial Selection Models for Constitutional Courts. A comparative analysis”
2012
Abstract La cronaca politica degli ultimi anni riporta un numero rilevante di confronti, dal tono più o meno conflittuale, tra le istituzioni politiche e quelle giurisdizionali. Di particolare rilevanza è che tale sorta di opposizione tra giustizia e politica coinvolga non solo l’operato delle magistrature ordinarie ma anche quello delle Corti costituzionali: le supreme garanti e guardiane di quei principi sui quali dovrebbe fondarsi l’intero ordinamento. A dispetto di ciò, esistono importanti occasioni in cui le autorità politiche e quelle giurisdizionali intrecciano i loro interessi, ed una di queste è proprio il momento in cui vengono reclutati i giudici costituzionali. Tuttavia, se…
Algunas reflexiones acerca de la stjue de 9 de julio de 2020 sobre los pactos novatorios en materia de cláusulas suelo
2021
The Sentence of the Court of Justice of the European Union of July 9, 2020 comes to answer the five questions that, in its preliminary question, the Court of First Instance and Instruction No. 3 of Teruel asks about the validity of the new agreements in the context of the floor clauses, establishing jurisprudential doctrine on this matter about which our Supreme Court had previously ruled in its Judgments of October 16, 2017, in the sense of considering the agreed floor clause null as a consequence of the novation agreement and, subsequently, those of April 11, 2018 and September 13, 2018 in the opposite direction, declaring that the novation agreement was valid. It is a long-awaited and in…

Stéréophonie et littérature : résonnance et reverbération dans les chansons de gestes et romans des XIIe et XIIIe siècles
2016
The chansons de geste and chivalric romances from the 12th and 13th centuries are a faithful testimony of the reality of their time, and sensory perceptions are among these testimonies. The written word provides not only descriptive and objective information, but also the impressions perceived and conveyed by the author, which are the sensations the reader has to get acquainted with in order to make the story their own. Mentions to sound effects and the sound features of a particular space are remarkable, and a compilation of these references from various texts allows us to study the sounds, resonances, and spaces through which the sound event gains prominence in the narrative. These includ…
Cartes et élections : la construction des circonscriptions électorales aux Etats-Unis, entre égalité et équité
2003
Maps and Elections : The Construction of Electoral Districts in the USA. Decennal census-led redistricting in the United States is the occasion for court actions focused nowadays on the political representation of ethnic minorities. Computer tools make possible the building of districts specifically tailored for Blacks or Hispanics, but blatant racial gerrymandering is now rejected by the US Supreme Court. This paper examines the most relevant judicial decisions and describes several local cases.
El conflicto entre el Tribunal Constitucional Federal Alemán y el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea:
2020
El Tribunal Constitucional Federal alemán emitió el 5 de mayo de 2020 una larga y dura sentencia (2 BvR 859/15), que viene a contradecir y desautorizar la Sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la UE de 11 de diciembre de 2018 (C-493/17, Weiss; ECLI:EU:C:2018:1000). El Tribunal Constitucional Federal no duda en calificar de incomprensible, carente de sentido y, desde luego, ultra vires la decisión del Tribunal de Justicia y el modo en el que se produjo el razonamiento del Alto Tribunal europeo. Lo que está en cuestión en el fondo es el Programa de Compras de Activos del Sector Público (PSPP) del BCE y la propia capacidad del BCE y del SEBC para adoptar ese tipo de decisiones, que pueden exce…
Il riconoscimento civile dello scioglimento canonico del matrimonio non consumato e l’attuale regime pattizio: spunti per un ripensamento (in vista d…
2019
The Concordato lateranense, as modified in 1984, no longer includes a provision on the recognition of the civil effects of dispensations super rato: and this is mainly due to political-ideological constraints which affect both the (bilateral) path of revision, and the concurrent intervention of the Constitutional Court (decision No. 18/1982) which endorses (while negotiations were still ongoing) the theory underpinning those constraints (the State’s ‘domination’ over the regulation of the marital relationship), while examining the super rato procedure in a formalistic way and stating that judicial protection is not sufficiently guaranteed. Firstly, the present paper deals with the origin, t…
