| Description | During the years of the political unification process of the Italian peninsula, the Sardinian Code of Criminal Procedure of 1859 was extended, in successive stages, to the various annexed territories. After the changes made by Minister Giuseppe Pisanelli, the definitive text was promulgated on November 26, 1865, becoming the first Italian Code of Criminal Procedure, effective from January 1, 1866. The proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy (March 18, 1861) did not produce an immediate recomposition of the criminal legislation: at the same time as the annexations, the Criminal Code of Savoy Piedmont had been extended to the former Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Among these changes was the application of Article 425, thus making homosexual relations illegal in Campania with exemplary punishments ranging from seven years to forced labor. |
