Some reflections on the Vatican system. Remembering the Master.

ABSTRACT: In recalling the life and work of prof. Giuseppe Dalla Torre, the author highlights some key areas in which the interests and personal commitment of the late Maestro are most focused. The essay intends to highlight that prof. Dalla Torre, also on the basis of his immense scientific production, was not only a brilliant and highly original scholar of canon law and ecclesiastical law, but he was also a refined constitutionalist, a careful scholar of public law and constitutional law. in relation to the various state systems, as well as in relation to the very unique system of the Vatican City State. The paper makes a specific reflection on some aspects of the current Vatican legal system, to which Dalla Torre has dedicated significant personal energies, especially in recent years. The essay indicates that the Vatican system was not only an important object of study and legal interest on the part of Giuseppe Dalla Torre. But it also represented an important field of action in which he sowed with copious abundance: both as a consultant for various departments of the Apostolic See; both from a jurisprudential point of view, in the years in which he held prestigious positions as a Vatican magistrate and, most recently, as President of the same Court of the Vatican City State; and, again, from the point of view of the care of new generation of jurists - trained through a prestigious School led by himself - with the relevant purpose of providing them with the tools suitable to operate, even at a professional level, within the "walls" Vatican system. It follows that Giuseppe Dalla Torre not only represents an illustrious ecclesiastic and canonist of our times, but also an esteemed legal practitioner, as well as an appreciated "Vatican jurist".

Conflicts of interest and corruption: scattered notes on the new regulatory framework envisaged by the Motu Proprio on “transparency, control and competition in the award procedures”

ABSTRACT: This contribution expresses the first notes on the fight against corruption, but even before the fight against conflicts of interest in the Vatican City State and the Holy See a few days after the adoption of the Apostolic Letter in the form of a Motu Proprio adopted by the Supreme Pope Francis for transparency, control and competition in award procedures. Far from wanting to be a decisive contribution, given the novelty of the discipline, surely the paper investigates the reasons that led to the adoption of such legislation, the founding principles that must permeate the entire discipline, the different types of award procedures and the “preventive” tools set as a “bulwark” of the fight against corruption and, even before, its so-called phase “prodromal”, represented by conflicts of interest. The contribution also focuses on the exquisitely civil aspects (good faith, correctness, exactness of the fulfillment) regarding the execution of the contract to be awarded and on the procedural aspects.
