About Camillo Finocchiaro Aprile
Read aloud with your device’s voice.
Camillo Finocchiaro Aprile is associated with the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure promulgated in 1913. A procedure code determines how an accusation is investigated and brought before a court. It is distinct from the penal code that defines offenses and punishments.
Born in Palermo in 1851, he combined legal practice with a long parliamentary career. His youth included participation in Garibaldi’s 1867 campaign, while his later work took place inside the ministries and institutions of the Kingdom of Italy. He served more than once as minister of justice.
The code emerged from an extended legislative process. His ministerial role was important, but the text should not be described as the invention of a single author working alone. Its rules reflected competing views about investigation and the position of the accused.
The practical subject behind the bust is the operation of state power in individual cases: the steps through which a court is supposed to establish responsibility. Finocchiaro Aprile died in Rome in 1916.
