In this paper the author faces some preliminary methodological issues. Accordingto him the constitutional lawyer cannot base his/her judgment only upon the formal textof the written constitution, but must necessarily take into account the living constitution(which includes conventions of the constitution, customs and actual behaviour of politicalinstitutions): in particular when the aim is to determine which happens to be the true roleof the President of the Republic within the Italian legal system. Subsequently the authorasserts that the seven years of President Napolitano's mandate have definitely establisheda dualist interpretation of the Italian political regime, especially taking into account theformation of Monti's cabinet. He ends his paper suggesting that a more functional politicalsystem should be pursued by limited changes to the constitution to better regulate aparliamentary form of government within which the role of the President as part of theexecutive is openly recognized. The myth of a President impartial and neutral guarantor, asort of nanny of the entire political system, should be abandoned once and for all.
