Twenty-five years after its entry into force, the latest version of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure is translated into English. This work is the result of the joint effort of translators and legal experts, and is introduced by three essays as an aid to the comprehension of a normative text of utmost importance in the international scenario. The volume is aimed at legal actors (judges, lawyers, court clerks, police forces, diplomacies, ministerial departments, legal translators) whose task is to apply the Code in cases of judicial cooperation among States, in criminal proceedings involving foreign accused persons and in legal counseling within the European Union. In its own nature, the book is also designed for law scholars and students worldwide. Indeed, the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure is still considered a reference point for its technical quality and for the solutions adopted to transpose several rules of the Anglo-American accusatory model into a traditionally inquisitorial system of criminal justice. That is why, not surprisingly, it is one of the most influential and studied legislations in comparative law.

Abstract
Twenty-five years after its entry into force, the latest version of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure is translated into English. This work is the result of the joint effort of translators and legal experts, and is introduced by three essays as an aid to the comprehension of a normative text of utmost importance in the international scenario. The volume is aimed at legal actors (judges, lawyers, court clerks, police forces, diplomacies, ministerial departments, legal translators) whose task is to apply the Code in cases of judicial cooperation among States, in criminal proceedings involving foreign accused persons and in legal counseling within the European Union. In its own nature, the book is also designed for law scholars and students worldwide. Indeed, the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure is still considered a reference point for its technical quality and for the solutions adopted to transpose several rules of the Anglo-American accusatory model into a traditionally inquisitorial system of criminal justice. That is why, not surprisingly, it is one of the most influential and studied legislations in comparative law.
