Riflessioni sugli obblighi vaccinali,
tra esigenze di unitarietà e ridotti spazi per le Regioni
(08.08.18)
Abstract
Reflections on vaccination
obligations, between the need for unity and reduced space for the Regions
Starting from the events in
the Veneto Region and from Constitutional Court's decision n. 5 of 2018,
this article carefully analyzes issues related to vaccination obligation
imposed on children and teenager by decree law n. 72/2017. This contribution
focuses, in particular, on the complex allocation of legislative competences
between the State and the Regions. The competence on vaccination may de facto
fall within state competence. The state should set fundamental principles,
balancing the right to be effectively treated with the right to physical and
psychical integrity. The state's action should also avoid gaps between the
Regions, due to the unitary interest behind vaccination issues, and ensure
protection also to those who, because of specific diseases, cannot be
vaccinated.

The Ilva of Taranto again
before the Constitutional Court (remarks to sentence No. 58 of 2018)
Is it possible to identify
a reasonable balance between market needs and workers' life in the context of
an activity of national strategic interest? Or should workers' right to health
be overcome by the right to work and the freedom to conduct a business? The
Ilva case leads the Constitutional Court to strive to find a balance between
opposite constitutional interests, on which the present work focuses through
the examination of the reasoning underlying.

From the external
functional link to internal continence? Recent trends in parliamentary
prerogative (note to the Constitutional Court, judgment n. 59/2018)
In the current political
context, which is very different from the past, it is necessary to rethink the
boundaries of parliamentarians' freedom of expression, in order to guarantee a
high level of protection of fundamental rights. Constitutional Court's
judgment no. 59 of 2018 seeks to find a new balance between opposite
interests. The Constitutional Court apparently rules also on the existence of
the prerogative within the Chamber itself, expressing an innovative tendency
analyszed by the present contribution.

A profile of the right to
housing: public housing for foreigners (in the margins of the Constitutional
Court ruling No. 106/2018)

the Constitutional Court declared the unconstitutionality of Article 4,
paragraph 1, of Law no. 13 of 2017 of the Region of Liguria, which introduces a
longer time residence requirement than planned at the national level, to access
to public housing by foreign residents. This paper analyzing - without claiming

Abstract
The Constitutional Court
declares the criterion of "prolonged residence in the regional
territory" illegitimate for admission to the nursery school: a brief note
to the sent. 107/2018 (with a brief reference to sent. 106/2018)
Moving from the recent
ruling no. 107 of 2018 of the
Constitutional Court, dealing with the social and educational function
of nursery schools, this contribution highlights the recent tendency of the
regional legislator to follow guidelines that are not consistent with
principles outlined by the Constitutional Court. This trend determines
different levels of protections, which the Constitutional Court strongly
reproached.

Abstract
For a new statute of
Trentino-Alto Adige (ask in the margins of two documents preparing the
rewriting of the deed)
This work examines some
proposed reforms of the Statute of Italian regions with differentiated
autonomy. Among them, Trentino-Alto Adige is specifically analyzed. In
particular, two documents that try to draw up some guidelines for a new Statute
are taken into consideration. Such documents are examined under the perspective
of each aspect that they address: the relationship between the Province and the
Region as well as between the latter and the State; relations with the EU and
at the international level; forms of participation and cooperation between
different levels of government.

The best interest of the child nella legge n. 219/2017
(13.06.18)
Abstract
The "best interest of
the child" in law n. 219/2017
This article examines Law 219/2017,
which regulates measures to be taken when a person's life is considered no
longer worthy to be lived by the person itself, with specific focus on the
situation in which such individual is a child. In dealing with such topic, this
work also considers cases on the comparative scenario in which the decision to
interrupt life-saving treatments administered to children has been taken by
doctors, believing that such a choice represented the child's best interest.
The article argues that whether or not recent Italian legislation on
anticipated arrangements in case of irreversible illness will be a "good
law", as some commentators have already defined it, will depend on how it
is applied, also with regard to children.

La dignità dell'uomo e il diritto di
avere diritti (profili problematici e ricostruttivi)
(03.06.18)
Abstract
Human dignity and the right
to have rights (problematic and reconstructive profiles)
This article is focused on
the concept of human dignity. On the one hand, human dignity is analyzed from a
theoretic and axiological perspective, also with regard to its relationship
with fundamental rights. On the other hand, it is contextualized by referring
it to several domains related to material experience, such as the beginning and
the end of human life. The claim of this work is that human dignity, which is
an absolute concept that cannot be measured nor balanced, both justifies and
limits individual autonomy, with which, however, it does not overlap.

Abstract
The constitutional value of
the Nice Charter: a problem still open also in the light of sentence n.
269/2017 of the Constitutional Court
First, this article
analyses the European Community's (then Union's) process aimed at guaranteeing
an increasingly high level of protection of fundamental rights as well as the
Italian Constitutional Court's path towards European integration and the so-called
counter-limits theory. Then, the study focuses on the Italian Constitutional
Court's decision (judgment n. 269/2017) through
which constitutional judges clarified some aspects with regard to how ordinary
courts must behave when domestic law clashes with and EU law, especially when
the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union is concerned.

Luci e ombre del dialogo tra Corti:
la "saga Taricco" tra revirements e questioni irrisolte
(07.05.18)
Abstract
Lights and shadows of the
dialogue between Courts: the "Taricco saga" between revirements and
unresolved issues
This work deals with the
"Taricco case", which was adjudicated both by the Italian
Constitutional Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union. The aim of
the article is to discuss how this case influenced the current relationship
between these two courts and which issues are still left unsolved. To this
purpose, the author, while recalling the judiciary path of the Taricco case,
carefully analyses the concept of "common constitutional traditions",
with a view to understanding whether and how they can be functionalized to the
process of integration between different legal systems which is entailed by
the European Union experience without giving up national identities of single
states.

How far does regional
competence extend? Disputes over land and sea in front of the Constitutional
Court
This work analyzes recent
case law of the Italian Constitutional Court dealing with the distribution of
competences with regard to the activity consisting of the exploitation of
hydrocarbons deposits on the seabed within the territorial sea. The issues arising
from this analysis are read in the light of international law (especially the
Geneva Convention on the Continental Shelf and the Montego Bay Convention) and
of the International Court of Justice's case law, specifically the so-called
North Sea Continental Shelf cases.

Abstract
The present work punctually
reviews Massimiliano Mezzanotte's monograph, focused on the analysis of the critical
aspects and potentiality of the Adriatic-Ionian macro-region.
The comment highlights the
author's effort to propose an "all-round" reconstruction of the theme, through
the examination of the different institutes, the comparison with the
experiences already in progress and the analysis of the national repercussions
of the institute.
The explanation of the
essential lines-reviewed monograph ends with praise to the work, which shows
the potentiality of territorial cooperation and implies a debate between the
experts of the field.
