| Summary: |
The present article aimed to analyse religious freedom in Italy. Its main purpose was to show that in this European country this basic civil liberty is still inadequately protected as far as religious minorities are concerned. In addition, it tries to demonstrate that Italy is unable to respond efficiently to religious pluralism’s challenges. In doing this, after a short historical analysis, the article examines the Italian normative framework as it relates to religious phenomena, giving particular attention to its legal sources and to the components of religious liberty individually and collectively considered. From this survey, it emerged that the aforementioned situations are the result, among other reasons, of the historical Italian vicissitudes, of the preservation of a bilateral Stateand-religion relation system on behalf of a limited array of religious organisations, of the fact that the fascist statute on admitted churches still be partly in effect, and of the lack of political reformism in this realm. In conclusion, the article argues for a wide and serious reform. In particular, it advocates that an applicable-to-all and freedom-friendly religious liberty law should be brought into law soon. At the same time, it stresses that such legal reforms should be accompanied by a change of mentality, so important in a country still struggling to accept diversity in religious matters. |
