The Constitution of the Italian Republic (Italian, trans. Costituzione della Repubblica Italiana) was enacted by the Constituent Assembly on 22 December 1947, with 453 votes in favour and 62 against. The text, which has been amended 13 times, was published in Gazzetta Ufficiale (no.298) on 27 December 1947. The Constituent Assembly was elected by universal suffrage on 02 June 1946 at the same time as the institutional referendum on abolition of the monarchy. The Constitution had effect from 01 January 1948, one century after the Statuto Albertino was conceded. Although this remained in force after the March on Rome in 1922, it became devoid of substantial value. Under disposition XIII, male descendants of the House of Savoy were forbidden from entering the territory of the Republic. This provision was repealed in 2002.
