The first assisted suicide in Italy took place in Tuscany, under a law that has allowed this right since 2019, but without national regulations

The first assisted suicide in Italy took place in Tuscany, marking a historic moment in the country, where the right to die has been legal since 2019 but without concrete national legislation. The procedure was made possible by a Constitutional Court ruling, which allows patients with serious medical conditions to administer a lethal drug to themselves. Although Tuscany has passed a regional law on assisted suicide, the Meloni government has challenged it and the Constitutional Court has yet to respond.
