Abstract
The current pandemic emergency strongly re-proposes the theme of fundamental rights and public intervention for their protection, which must be linked to a necessary reinterpretation of sovereignty, finally detached from the exclusive and absorbing anchorage to popular representation. Sovereignty, as outlined by our Constitution, also means the functionalization of authority to the rights of the person and, therefore, a non-neutral and pro-active look with respect to the necessary guarantee of fundamental rights.
