The Italian Supreme Court, known as the Corte di Cassazione, is the highest court in Italy. It serves as the final court of appeal for civil and criminal cases, ensuring that laws are interpreted and applied consistently across the country. Established in 1860, it plays a crucial role in the Italian judicial system. Located in Rome, the court's primary function is to review lower court decisions for legal errors. It does not re-examine facts or evidence but focuses on the application of law. The court's rulings help shape legal precedents and influence future cases in Italy.
