The Administrative Jurisdiction in Italy: The Path Toward a Speciality to Serve Full Protection of Rights Against Public Authority

This essay analyses the evolution of the administrative justice in Italy by remarking the change, begun in the end of the last century and improved with the entry into force of the 2010 Code of Administrative Trial, toward a system of full protection of rights and interests harmed by the public power. A relevant stage of such evolution is also the dialogue established with the European Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Justice: the resulting dialectic between different systems, indeed, may lead to re-interpret and update in a critical sense the traditional speciality of the public administration and its judge.
