La disciplina giuridica della destinazione al culto degli edifici

The research focuses on study of "legal status" of religious buildings, with particular attention to the evolution of the religious phenomenology of contemporary society. Religious buildings, due to their particular purpose, assume a significant social and religious function, whose promotion and protection is ensured by law through the limitations of public powers and the faculties connected with the right of property, as well as the provision of a particular discipline legal. The destination for worship contributes to the construction of a complex legal regime of the religious building, which is the result of the stratification of unilateral juridical sources and agreements and religious norms. The identification of juridical solutions that satisfy the cultural needs and that promote the concrete exercise of freedom of worship is one of the main objectives of the activity of the legislator and the jurist. The religious pluralism of the society imposes to the interpreter a constant re-reading of the juridical and constitutional norms relative to places of worship as well as the identification of new juridical instruments, also of a negotiating nature, in order to guarantee the effective exercise of religious freedom.
