The «firstness» of freedom of speech is questioned by new postmodern critics, who underlinethe role of cultural communities in the shaping of individual personality and affirmthe relativity of fundamental rights, conceived as a historical product of Western culture.According to these critics, hate speech is a powerful instrument through which hegemonicgroups reproduce social hierarchies. After having surveyed the criminal sanctions againsthate speech in Italy, the article questions the criminalization of hate speech, calling for anintervention of the Constitutional Court. Freedom of speech creates the public discourse, asocial realm that allows a mutual political comprehension between individuals and differentcommunities. In order to fulfil its function, public discourse must therefore be neutralwith regard to the content of the speech.
