Pope Leo XII (1823-1829) with the 5th October 1824 motu proprio (legislative text promulgated on his own initiative) reformed the legislation and the institutions of the Papal States achieved by Pius VII, his predecessor, and by the Secretary of State Ercole Consalvi. The Pope entrusted the preparation of the reform to a legislative commission, led by the cardinal and jurist Fabrizio Turiozzi. Researches carried out in the State Archive of Rome and in the Vatican Secret Archive allowed a deeper examination of Leo XII’s reform of the civil judicial system of the Papal States, which was subjected to numerous criticisms by Legal Historiography in the past.
