Abstract
Never as in this period Constitution and life have antertwined their orbits, with highly complex and still uncertain outcomes. Because it was the life of entire populations that was questioned by Covid-19. That it was not just this, that something else - the rule of law, freedom, the economy - is also in danger, is certain. It remains that the virus, first of all, attacked our survival, resulting in a series of unprecedented regulatory measures justified essentially by the defense of life. In the conflict between the right to life and the temporary suspension of fundamental rights, the pendulum of the alternative has swung in favor of the former. The choices of the Government in times of pandemic have privileged the side of authority, in the name of the need for solidarity and, therefore, in function of shared ideological choices. The essay intends to demonstrate how this way of facing the problem is correct because the right to life represents the fundamental, if not exclusive, parameter by which to judge the work of the State.
