L’abolizione dei senatori a vita di nomina presidenziale

This paper aims to analyze the arguments that could be used for or against the repeal of the art. 59, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, looking, on the one hand, at the rationale that was the basis of the original forecast and, on the other, at the personalities who, in one sense or another, contributed to marking a path - often bumpy but never resulting in an effective revision, with the exception of the constitutional reform of 2020 - for the constitutional provision under examination and then verifying whether and in what way it could impact the constitutional reform as a whole and whether any corrective measures would be possible in view of the possible definitive approval of the text.
