ABSTRACT: In the Italian legal experience, the history of the crime of plagio has been
characterized by several interpretative problems. In particular, the Rocco Code
(1930) introduced this crime with the art. 603, but its text was particularly ambigu-
ous. Indeed, it was not clear in the prediction of the rule, if the strength used to
submit a person had to be only physical or it could be psychological too. In any
case, in Italy only one person was found guilty of the crime of plagio considered as
a 'mental crime'; it was the only case of conviction for this crime (occurred in
1968) from the promulgation of the code to the declaration of unconstitutionality
issued in 1981. Nevertheless, the Italian debate around this kind of offence seems
to reopen once again, especially when the public opinion is scared by the risk of
mind manipulation thanks to 'evil forces'.
