Abstract

In this review essay, I showcase aspects of Marta Cartabia’s and Nicola Lupo’s The Constitution of Italy that set it apart from standard texts and that make it an excellent resource on Italian government and public law. Then, I focus on two elements of the Italian constitutional order that are discussed in the book and that are unique when seen in comparative context—the non-hierarchical organization of the Italian judiciary and the salience of social rights. I argue that future research on these aspects of the Italian case could make an important contribution to cutting-edge debates in the field of comparative law.
