"The theme of works of art is closely connected to the civil and economic affairs of Italy, so much so that the protection of the artistic heritage has been the object of the attention of the legislator and of the Republican Constitution itself since ancient times. This attention was prompted by both the need for preservation and that of persecution of the various ways in which works of art can be compromised (theft, illicit export, counterfeiting, deterioration, etc.). The volume intends to give an account of the main theoretical and operational lines in this regard, focusing above all on the skills present in the Genoese University"-- Provided by publisher.

"This book offers a critical analysis of hate crime law using Italy as a case study. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, it develops an international framework for mapping hate crime laws onto the phenomenon of hate crime itself, allowing for better legislation to be drafted. It shows how this analytical tool may be used in practice by applying it to legislation in Italy, where Parliament recently dismissed a legislative proposal to extend hate crime law to sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability. The framework allows readers to critique the rationale behind hate crime laws and the effect of, or potential effect of, their implementation. This book ultimately seeks to answer to the question of how and whether States can legitimately introduce a harsher sentence for bias motivated crimes. It bridges interdisciplinary hate studies and more traditional legal analysis. It speaks to an international audience as well as to an audience with a specific interest in the Italian context"-- Provided by publisher.

"Questo libro è un diario di un lungo viaggio principiato nel lontano anno 2006 e tutt'ora in corso. Tale viaggio è un approfondimento sul mondo della pena, e si compone di due esperienze, si compone in due grandi tappe, la prima rappresentata dall'Associazione Movimento Clemenza e Dignità, la seconda rappresentata dall'iniziativa Piazza delle Carceri e della Sicurezza del cittadino. E' un susseguirsi di commenti che costituiscono un lungo racconto, è una lunga e costante riflessione, in cui attraverso il tempo e la maturazione, si giunge alla considerazione per cui non è giusto tutelare i diritti umani dei detenuti e poi dimenticare la sicurezza dei cittadini, non è giusto tutelare la sicurezza dei cittadini e poi dimenticare i diritti umani dei soggetti ristretti. Il primo obiettivo di questo libro, è quindi, quello di promuovere una coesistenza tra queste due esigenze apparentemente del tutto contrapposte ed inconciliabili. L'ulteriore obiettivo di questo volume, è quello di fornire un contributo di idee, nell'ambito di un complessivo progetto di riforma della giustizia"-- Provided by publisher

"The Lisbon Treaty states that national Parliaments shall contribute to a better functioning of the EU. Can they really do it and therefore enrich the European democracy? How far can they extend their original sovereignty without distorting political responsibilities that should be geared upon the European Parliament? The authors analyze the experience of the Italian Parliament under the light of these crucial questions and their exhaustive answers are greatly helpful to the readers of all over Europe." Giuliano Amato, Judge of the Italian Constitutional Court. This important new collection explores the role of the Italian Parliament in the Euro-national parliamentary system as an example of an increased role for national parliaments within the composite European constitutional order. It illustrates how parliamentary interactions within the European Union are highly systematic, with integrated procedures and mutual interdependence between the various institutions and stakeholders. The book argues that this dynamic is vital for both the functioning and the future equilibrium of democracy in the EU. This is significant, particularly given the challenges posed to democracy within the EU institutions and the Member States. Notwithstanding its peculiarities (a symmetrical bicameral system in which both Houses are directly elected, hold the same powers and are linked through a confidence relationship with the government), the Italian Parliament deserves specific attention as a lively active player of the European polity. The grid for its analysis proposed by this collection may also be applied to other national parliaments, so contributing to the development of comparative research in this field.
