"La capacità giuridica penale" e "La subiettivazione della norma penale": i primi due volumi penalistici di Aldo Moro

Despite the lack of interest shown by the judiciary and academics towards the criminal capacity and the so-called “subjectification of the criminal law”, these categories are still useful, allowing to describe criminal law in a sort of humanistic sense. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse whether and how the contemporary legal experts can use these two concepts. To this end, it focuses on the two monographs on these issues written by Aldo Moro (“La capacità giuridica penale” [1939] e “La subiettivazione della norma penale” [1942]). At a closer look, the idea that criminal law “is always a human and personal matter” emerges much more clearly in his works than in other contributions on the same subject.
