Abstract
[Machine translation] The Author retraces the salient passages of constitutional history in the field of environmental protection, to focus attention on the meaning of the entry of the protection of the environment, biodiversity and ecosystems into the Italian Constitution following the reform of 2022. The element of real novelty is found in the persistence of an anthropocentric vision, in which, however, the human being is no longer a predator, but a guardian; no longer the bearer of rights but of duties. The idea of the future also changes, not only the framework for the unfolding of the effects of political action, but an object of care, a dimension to be preserved, to guarantee the very assumptions of human existence and action.
