Criminal law in Bologna

Defence for suspects and defendants, and representation for victims, in proceedings taking place in Bologna, handled personally from the studio in Pistoia.

How I work

A lawyer admitted to an Italian bar can appear before every court and court of appeal in the country. That is why I also take proceedings outside the Pistoia jurisdiction, from the first step to appeal.

At urgent stages, such as questioning, an arrest or a precautionary measure, I arrange the necessary presence straight away. Reading the file and building the defence always remain in my hands.

Bologna is just over half an hour from Florence by high-speed train, and is home to the Court of Appeal for Emilia-Romagna and one of Europe’s oldest universities.

Common situations

  1. A summons to the Questura di Bologna or a Carabinieri station
  2. Notice that the prosecutors at the Tribunale di Bologna have closed their investigation
  3. A preliminary hearing or trial before the Tribunale di Bologna
  4. A judgment to appeal before the Corte d’Appello di Bologna
  5. A complaint to file as a victim
