Senato della Repubblica

The Senato della Repubblica is the upper chamber of Italy's Parliament, similar to a Senate in other countries. It is composed of elected and appointed members who review, amend, and approve legislation passed by the lower house (Camera dei Deputati). Its role is to ensure careful examination of laws, represent regional interests, and provide checks and balances within the legislative process. The Senate's structure, powers, and election process are defined by Italy's Constitution, making it a key institution in shaping the country's laws and policies.
