Abstract

The Constitutional Court does not belong to the judiciary; it is located outside of it, not only in terms of constitutional rules applicable, but also from the viewpoint of its very nature. The Italian Constitutional Court is the first example of constitutional justice in the new European order following the Second World War. The Court is composed of fifteen judges. In the Constituent Assembly there was a lively debate about their selection. The Constitutional Court can issue several types of decisions, which can be classified according to their different parameters. The Italian Constitutional Court has been imposing itself as an important player on the Italian institutional stage, starting from an uncertain position, due to the novelty of such a creature in the legal and political landscape of Italy. During the republican experience, the Constitutional Court has represented much more than an authoritative interpreter of the Constitution. Keywords: constituent assembly; European law; Italian constitutional court; Second World War
