Italian law is basically based on Roman regulations. Especially
for its civil and criminal law, it depends on both Roman
regulations and French Napoleonic regulations. For instance, the
codes of Sardinia Kingdom in civil as well as chastening events
were introduced in the Italy law and have been used since the mid
– 19th century. The modified 1990 chastening code
changed the old 'inquisitory' system with an accusatory
system, much like that of common-law countries. Besides the codes,
there are many Italy criminal laws, which integrate the codes as
well as control locations of legislation for which no codes exist,
such as public regulation. Under the Italian constitution, the
judiciary is independent of the legislature, the exec, as well as
the jurisdictional, which functions can be performed solely by
magistrates, and judges cannot be dismissed.
