In the second part of the Article, the Author proposes a definition of an European concept of 'publicmorals'. Given the necessity to anchor the notion to an objective standard, and drawing from thejurisprudence of Italian Constitutional Court, he suggests a link between 'public morals' and 'humandignity', which is considered an important value protected by the European Convention ofHuman Rights. As defining 'human dignity' is itself a difficult task, the Author singles out two dimensionsof this concept, which can help in interpreting the 'public morals' clause. He holds thatthe first dimension, that is personal autonomy, can make clear what are the boundaries of the Statein enforcing moral convictions, barring the government from hindering harmless private choices;the second dimension, that is respect for other people, can provide a content to the 'public morality'clause, allowing the State to forbid conducts that demean human beings as such.
