in a second deliberation, the Italian Parliament approved the proposed law that abolishes the death penalty from the Constitution. The approved law foresees that article 27 of the Constitution will remove the words in the last paragraph "if not in cases foreseen under military law." The constitutional text, therefore, will say: "The death penalty is not admissible." In any case. There were 471 votes for the law, with only one vote against. As it is a constitutional law proposal, the text must be approved by the Senate a second time, without modification. The senate has already approved the law once.
