Le fonti della crisi: tra esigenze unitarie e garanzie costituzionali nel governo dell’emergenza da COVID-19

This article analyses the effects the spreading of CoViD-19 had on the con-stitutional balance, both in Parliament-Government relations and State-Regions rela-tions. It primarily deals with the legality of the decrees promoted by Italy’s Prime Minister (adopted under the provisions of a decree-law) and the utter importance of a uniform instrument for the central government to coordinate the measures adopt-ed by the various Regions to fight the virus back. Then, we claim the necessity of a) an emergency constitutional proceeding to regulate the powers of Government and Parliament; and b) a “supremacy clause” to strengthen the central government.
