La finanza regionale nella Costituzione: opportunità della riforma del 2001

Understanding how the 2001 amendment of Title V of the Constitution, in particular Article 119, will impact on the fiscal autonomy of the ordinary statute regions requires looking at: the dynamics of regional fiscal autonomy over the period up until when the 1948 Constitution was revised; the interpretation given by the Constitutional Court to a number of provisions contained in Article 119, as amended; some basic principles of fiscal federalism which with the 2001 constitutional reform become key reference points when choosing the arrangements to be used for financing the regions and local government.
