Alessandro Pizzorusso – Wikipedia

Alessandro Pizzorusso (Bagni di Lucca, 11 November 1931 – Pisa, 14 December 2015) was an Italian jurist and constitutionalist.

Son of Giuliano Pizzorusso, who exercised the lawyer with a studio in Piazza Grande in Lucca, and the younger brother of the Frenchman Arnaldo Pizzorusso, shared with Giuseppe Pera the common qualification of disciple of Virgilio Andrioli ^[first] . In 1954 he graduated in law from the University of Pisa, discussing a thesis on the high court for the Sicilian region, speaker Franco Pierandrei.

Winner of the competition in the judiciary, on March 31, 1958 he began as a judicial auditor at the Court of Rome; Since 1963 he took on the qualification of court magistrate, but first exercised the functions of Praetor in Empoli and then as a judge in the Court of Pisa. He was a study assistant to the Constitutional Judge Costantino Mortati.

On October 31, 1972 he abandoned the judiciary for his academic career: he was first extraordinary professor of constitutional law in the faculty of jurisprudence and then ordinary until 2007. For a long time professor of public law and constitutional law, Pizzorusso carried out most of his career in the university of Pisa, progenitor of one of the most dynamic ‘schools’ of constitutional law. Between 1 November 1981 and 1 November 1989 he was the owner of the chair of comparative constitutional law at the University of Florence, where he took over from Mauro Cappelletti.

During his career, Pizzorusso held numerous institutional offices, including that of director of the Department of Public Law from 1996 to 2006. In 1990 he was awarded the order of the Cherubino and in 2007 he received the appointment of emeritus professor.

President for 10 years (from 1985 to 1994) of the Italian Association of Comparative Law, in 1998 he was part of the group of experts who drawn up the report on behalf of the European Commission Affirming fundamental rights in the European Union (published in 1999), which represented a decisive contribution for the subsequent approval of the Nice Charter in 2000 ^[2] .

He was part of the Superior Council of the judiciary from 1990 to 1994. He maintained academic contacts with the self -government organ of the magistrates so much that, in 2003, he was invited to keep a report for judicial listeners: in that seat Pizzorusso had delivered to the young magistrates a document that defined the members of the CSM of the center-right area “exponents of the company party”; A controversy was born with an intervention by the then President of the Republic, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi ^[3] . Moreover, in 2004, he stood a pizzorusso of the meritorious medal of the school, culture and art.

Since 1998 he was a national partner of the National Accademia dei Lincei.
