Abstract

The article explores some tendencies arising from the case law concerning procedural aspects of the trial between State and Regions before the Constitutional court. These tendencies highlight different dimensions and multiple goals of the proceeding, moving from the adjudications of the legislative competences of State and Regions to the overall guarantee of the Constitution. In the light of the Italian Constitution, which designs a Regional State, the essay concludes that the main scope of the judgment is ensuring the legal unity of the State.
