Abstract

At the end of March 2015, the Italian Constitutional Court released an important judgment clarifying the content of the duty to take into account the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. In order to offer a detailed analysis of decision n° 49, this work will be divided into three parts: first, we shall (briefly) recall the most important novelties introduced by the Italian Constitutional Court through and after the so called «twin judgements» (348 and 349/2007) of 2007. Secondly, we shall recall the contents of decision n° 49/2015 while in the last section of the article we shall offer some final remarks.
