The Constitutional Court has unanimously elected Judge Giovanni Amoroso as its president. The newly elected president will serve until November 13, 2026, when his nine-year term as constitutional judge expires. Born in Mercato San Severino (Salerno) on March 30, 1949, married, father of two children with four grandchildren, Amoroso graduated in law in 1971 from La Sapienza University in Rome. A magistrate since 1975 (ranked second on the final list), he was a criminal praetor in Bergamo (1976-1980) and a labor praetor in Rome (1980-1984). In 1984 he was assigned to the Court of Cassation, first as a court magistrate (1984-1989) and then as an appeal magistrate (1996-2000), being applied to the Labor Section and participating in the panels as rapporteur and then draftsman of the pronouncements adopted. He is now the No. 1 magistrate in the Italian system. "There are no programmatic lines to set out. The Court is a deeply collegial body. There is to remember that the compass in the Court's activity is the Constitution", Amoroso said at the press conference immediately after his election.
