In Italy the penal code[1] regulates intentional homicide (art. 575 c.p.),[2][3] "praeterintention"[4] homicide (584 c.p.)[5][6][7] corresponding to the Anglo-Saxon Felony-Murder (for exampleIf, << If John commits a felony, that is, a serious crime, and Jim's death derives from this, John is responsible for the most serious form of murder even though Jim's death was neither foreseen nor foreseeable by him. It's a bit like our homicide "preterintenzionale", but the penalties for felony murder in common law countries are much more severe>>),[8][9][10] and manslaughter (art. 589 c.p.).[11][12][13][14][15] <<Thus - to summarize - we see that murder includes murder committed with the intention of producing [...] serious injury, or with the intention of producing that which either can easily produce the other and, therefore, also includes cases in which death is preceded by criminal intent and which is the consequence of an illegal act, which by its nature constitutes a crime. Involuntary manslaughter, however, includes homicide caused by omission, involuntary manslaughter, accidental homicide resulting from an unlawful act which is not a crime, and the like>>.[16]
In Italy, with sentences nos. 1085-364/1988 the Constitutional Court has meant the art. 27 const. and the principle of guilt. Therefore, since then we have been laboriously trying to reconcile criminal law with the new meaning of the art. 27 of the Constitution, confirmed by art. 7 ECHR and 49 Nice Charter; however without satisfying results with regard to the effective re-education of the convicted person, sanctioning appropriateness and subjective responsibility.[17]
