ABSTRACT: The debate concerning the rights and the duties of the same-sex couples is at the centre of the public discourse. It is, in fact, no longer confined to the life situations of the persons involved in homosexual relations. According with a classical perspective, which is in particular based on the Francesco Carnelutti’s thought, this essay tries to demonstrate that the link between the feeling of love and a juridical system – which seems now to be taken for granted – could be dangerous. As matter of fact, the Author thinks that the distinctionbetween those two spheres (love and juridical systems) is necessary, if not a prerequisite, for the right affirmation of the principle of equality.

The Cultural Impact of Islamic Mass Immigration on the Italian Legal System

ABSTRACT: Although Italy has been a country with a strong tradition of emigration, only in the last twenty-five years Italians have had to face the social, juridical and cultural problems related to high immigration hosted by this country. The majority of immigrants come from areas with Islamic religious tradition such as Northern and Central Africa and the Middle East. The cultural impact between the Italian Catholic tradition and the newcomers' faith and customs has been very strong, often problematic. The aim of this paper is to investigate the most relevant issues between the cultural and legal aspects of Islamic culture pertaining to immigrants living in Italy with the Italian legal system. The legal areas proposed for the investigation are related to self-determination, personal integrity and family law, especially for analyzing the impact of cultural differences on public policies and social behavior. The methodology used regards a comparative and a multidisciplinary approach.

Public Order and Legal Action. The Public Order model proposed at the jurisdictional level, including the ways in which religious freedom is exercise

ABSTRACT : In the Italian multicultural system in which religious practices are finding new channels of existence and expression the concept of public order represents the extreme limit within which the judicial system must continually and autonomously promote the carrying out of adjustments to the existing normative structure, values and constitutional principles, in order to guarantee the rights they attribute to individuals in its territory. A process of continuous, well-pondered monitoring of the very concept of public order – including the relevance that that value holds beyond the country ’ s national borders – permits the judicial system to place the right to religous freedom and its manifestations within their rightful context; in this logic the elements of ‘ space ’ and ‘ time ’ acquire an important role in an updated version of the right to religious freedom, i.e. individuals ’ ability to worship without any reference to State-determined religious institutions, or – inversely - to freely profess their atheist convictions.

SUMMARY: 1. Aim of the study - 2. Defining medical treatment- 3. Treatment, consent and “religious grounds” - 4. The right to express one’s religion and medical consent - 5. The legitimate limitations on the right to refuse a treatment on religious grounds - 6. Capacity to refuse a treatment - 7. The genuineness of consent - 8. Refusal and children’s best interest – 9. Conclusive remarks.

ABSTRACT: This study focuses on the right of patients to refuse medical treatments on religious grounds and on the (supposed) right to the parents to refuse medical treatments on behalf of their children, emphasizing the links and connections between the freedom of religion, the right to self - determination and the right to refuse medical treatment based on religious motivations. After a comparison between the norms devoted to rule the exercise of these rights in the English (and Welsh) and Italian legal systems, the article suggests that the approach of medical staff towards a Refusal of Medical Treatment on Religious Grounds ought to start an intercultural process. This process ought to be a cross - cultural dialogue devoted not only to translate medical language in a language which can be fully
understood by the patient, but also to create a reciprocal comprehension between the (mainstream) ethnocultural communication codes and instances of the staff and the (nondominant) ethnocultural (and religious) communication codes and instances of the patient (or of his/her parents).

Local government bodies and the compression of freedom of religion: the ban on the face veil.

ABSTRACT: During the last decade several Italian local government bodies (and especially Municipalities) attempted to introduce a general ban on the so called “face veil” ( niqab or burqa ) through secondary law, in the absence of a national comprehensive policy on the matter. The aforementioned attempts were, without fail, found illegal by the Council of State and the Constitutional Court. Nonetheless, following the rekindling of the anti-Islamic sentiment in Europe in the aftermath of the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, we are currently witnessing a “new wave” of local regulation trying to impose a ban on the face veil, based on the claim that, in order to answer the exacerbation of the so called “clash of cultures”, a different balancing of the fundamental rights involved is needed. The author challenges the legality of the new local bans, as well as the compatibility of a general ban on the face veil with the Italian constitutional system.

ABSTRACT: The post-synodal apostolic Exhortation by Pope Francis, Amoris Laetitia, represents a relevant document to understand the current interest in Canon Law’s studies about the legal condition of marriages and human families. Though the Exhortation obviously has a deep view about theological perspectives, juridical elements seem even more important and suggestive. The aim of this essay is to underline what the Exhortation could mean in terms of reforming positive rules, not only considering the legal status of marriage.
