Introduction
Introduction to the English Section
The Italian Constitutional Court is delighted to present the
English version of its website. Its content, which may be easily consulted, consists
of Judgments, Documents, the Pressroom and Annual Reports, sorted and divided
by sections.
In the Judgments section, you can browse through a
wide selection of the most important and recent decisions of the Constitutional
Court.
The judgments are selected by the Court’s Bench, translated
into English and made available through the internal translation service.
In addition to the full text translated into English, a short
summary explaining the case is available for each judgment .
The Documents section offers a booklet on the Italian Constitutional Court and its functions,
as well as a translation of the Constitution of the Italian Republic,
whereas the Pressroom area collects the official press
releases of the Court’s most important decisions, translated into English, and addressed to a broader public.
Finally, Annual Reports gathers the descriptions of general
trends in the Court’s rulings and of its activities carried out in the
reference year.
Summaries of the reports for the year 2018
and the year 2019, which also refers to the main measures taken by the
Court in 2020 during the COVID-19 emergency,
are available in English.
The English section of the Italian Constitutional
Court’s website is completely available to the public. In order to facilitate its fruition,
a search engine has been developed and it is now available at the top of the home
page. This search engine, specifically built for the Court’s contents, allows
users to enter one or more keywords in the search box (“Cerca”) – in
order to find, in a friendly manner, the judgments and any other documentation
relating to their subject of inquiry, both in English and Italian languages.
