  • Italy 2016 International Religious Freedom Report
    ITALY 2016 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution protects freedom of religion and the right of religious communities to establish their own institutions. The constitution specifies the state and the Catholic Church are independent, their relations governed by a concordat granting the Church a number of privileges and benefits, as well as financial support. Other religious groups must register to receive tax and other benefits. Registered groups may request an accord with the state that provides most of the same benefits granted the Catholic Church. Muslims continued to report difficulties in acquiring permission from local governments to construct mosques. The regional governments of Veneto and Liguria enacted laws restricting the construction of places of worship. Critics said the laws were aimed at Muslims. The Constitutional Court ruled a regional law on religious buildings adopted by Lombardy in 2015 was partially unconstitutional because it could make the establishment of new mosques or other religious buildings by non-Catholic groups more difficult. The city of Milan suspended the designation of sites for the construction of two mosques and a Protestant church announced by the previous mayor in 2015, although the newly elected mayor announced on October 17 a new mosque might be built within two years and the city might allow the construction of several smaller mosques. The city of Rome ordered the closure of five “garage mosques” of the Bangladeshi community between July and September, citing lack of authorizations and safety reasons. Some Bangladeshi Muslims protested the closures in October. The Ministry of Interior (MOI) created an Islamic advisory council to promote the integration of Muslims in society, and the interior minister made statements reaffirming the freedom of religion, including for Muslims.
