Seventy-five years after the adoption in Rome of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), this volume offers a critical reflection on the impact that the ECHR has had on the Italian legal order, as a living instrument constantly interpreted by the European Court of Human Rights in light of the socio-cultural, political and normative transformations of the European society.
