Il tempo della costituzione nel pensiero di Leopoldo Elia

This is the Author’s presentation at the Conference held on 10 December 2018 at the Sapienza University of Rome in memory of Professor Leopoldo Elia in the tenth anniversary of his death (5 October 2008). It is devoted to Elia’s conception of constitutional time, with the aim of demonstrating that, without giving an explicit theory of the issue, time was crucial in Elia’s thought on the constitution. To this end, the author affords an account of a series of Elia’s contributions, concerning both political institutions and constitutional justice.
