The Supreme Court of Cassation, in the judicial system in force in the Italian Republic, represents the judge of legitimacy of last resort of the sentences issued by the ordinary judiciary. It carries out the functions of the Court of Cassation and the Supreme Court. Its jurisdiction is not limited to a particular judicial district but extends to the whole national territory. The first of the Italian pre-unification states to establish a court of cassation was the Kingdom of the two Sicilies in 1809. Subsequently, in the Kingdom of Sardinia, with the Albertine Statute, the Court of Cassation of Turin was established in 1848. With the birth in 1861 of the Kingdom of Italy, new so-called "regional" courts of cassation were established, heirs of the pre-unification states: Turin for the territories of the former Kingdom of Sardinia and the Lombard-Veneto Kingdom, Florence for the Grand Duchy and the Duchies , Rome for the territories that belonged to the Papal State, Naples and Palermo for the former Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. On 24 March 1923, in the context of the centralizing policy of the fascist regime, the five courts were unified into one, based in Rome, with the official name of the Supreme Court of Cassation. Because of the particular type of toga used for more formal occasions such as the inauguration of the judicial year, made up for the first president, the first deputy president and for the section presidents from a red velvet toga with an ermine fur border , touch (velvet hat), batiste cloth collar and white gloves, judges of the cassation are often referred to as "stoats". It performs a nomophilactic function, which consists in ensuring the exact observance and uniform interpretation of the rules of law. In this sense, its judgments constitute a guiding criterion of national jurisprudence, which in taking its decisions can take into account the judgments issued by the Court. To this end, an office known as the Office of the Massimario is hinged at the Supreme Court, whose function is to identify the principles of law expressed by the Court in its rulings. However, when the Court of Cassation annuls a provision with postponement of the trial to the judge of the previous grade, the principle of law is binding for the judge to whom the judgment is referred.
