The Consiglio di Stato (English: Council of State) is a legal-administrative consultative body that ensures the legality of public administration in Italy. The council has jurisdiction on acts of all administrative authorities, except when these authorities lack discretionary power, in which case the dispute is considered to be one of civil law.
The Council of State is one of the most enduring institutions of the Italian political system. Born in its very origin (1831) as a sort of consultative authority of the King, the Council of State has been able to modify its political functions and to successfully adapt to the different regimes. Actually, it is at the same time the highest administrative court (the second and ultimate level of decision after the regional administrative tribunals) and a consultative body of the government.
