On 21 Nov 2003 the University of Pavia held a seminar on "Lorenzago di Cadore's plan for Constitutional Reform." The seminar was sponsored by the departments of Political & Judicial Studies, Statistics, & Applied Economics. Under the direction of professors Pietro Giuseppe Grasso & Pietro Vincenzo Aimo, the seminar offered an opportunity to analyze the contents of the proposed reform. This paper focuses on the proposed modification of the Constitutional Court from the perspective of a federal environment. The proposal outlines a Constitutional Court based on solely political nominations; therefore, an institution that would lose its protective characteristics, especially in case of tutelage of political minorities.
