Abstract

The essay deals with the admissibility and the effectiveness of the so-called “additional or possible contents” of the Statuti and Estatutos (fundamental provisions) regulating, respectively, the Italian Regions and the Spanish Comunidades Autónomas. First of all, it points out how the different nature of the two sources. The essay examines the nature and character of the two sources, analyzing the doctrine and the court decisions in the two systems and comparing the different solutions proposed. Furthermore, it deals critically with the recent decisions of the Italian Constitutional Court regarding the non-regulatory nature of the “additional contents”. As concerns the so-called “diritti statutari” (rights arising from the Statuti), both in Italy and in Spain, the essay finally points out that the interpretation of the admissibility of the contents of such fundamental provisions in this sensitive area lies in the vertical – and not horizontal – character of the same.
