Corte Costituzionale

The Corte Costituzionale, or Constitutional Court, is Italy’s highest judicial authority responsible for ensuring laws and government actions conform to the Italian Constitution. It reviews laws passed by Parliament to prevent unconstitutional legislation, resolves disputes about the constitutionality of laws, and adjudicates conflicts between state and regional authorities. It also handles referendums and protects fundamental rights. Its role is crucial in maintaining the constitutional balance of power, safeguarding democratic principles, and ensuring that all laws and government actions align with Italy’s fundamental legal framework.
