A First Glimpse of Constitutional Scrutiny on Decree-Law 36/2025
By Avvocato Adriana Maria Coco Ruggeri - June 29, 2025
A few days ago, the Court of Turin submitted a question of constitutional legitimacy regarding Decree-Law No. 36 of 2025, later converted into law. This represents a significant development: for the first time, a judicial authority has acknowledged the potential conflict between the new legislation and fundamental principles enshrined in the Italian Constitution.
As anticipated, Decree-Law No. 36/2025, as converted into law, has raised concerns about its compatibility with fundamental constitutional principles. The Constitutional Court is now called upon to evaluate, as a preliminary matter, whether the question raised is admissible and not manifestly unfounded.
This initiative in Turin may well be the first of several similar actions, especially in light of growing debate and legal arguments emerging across the profession. The discussion has only just begun, and the Court’s future decision could have far-reaching consequences for all individuals currently affected by this controversial legislation.
To encourage broader international understanding and access to this critical constitutional development, we are pleased to share the English translation of the constitutional challenge filed before the Turin Court.
