It must be borne in mind that in Italy the first degree of a trial lasts on average 3 years, the appeal of others 2 and one year in the Supreme Court: that is, we have to wait 6 years for a final sentence and with staggering costs for all parties involved.
But here's how to halve the time and drastically reduce expenses.

A criminal judge from Cremona, Pierpaolo Beluzzi, 54 years, introduced some time ago hearings via Skype. You understood correctly: does the trials via Skype, via video conference. E the system works perfectly. Everything is tested even in difficult proceedings and the advantages are there for all parties involved: you save hours and money on traveling from one city to another, processes taking less than half the expected time and there is greater willingness to collaborate among the defendants.
“It can be done. We have used technology in addition 200 processes", Beluzzi tells Affaritaliani, “even in complex processes such as football betting”. Con 104 parts and more of 140 lawyers involved. “That process of 2016 it lasted 2 and a half months, it could have lasted years", explains the judge, “The assumption is that all parties agree to do so. And if someone isn't, they can always be summoned in person. It happens in 2 o 3 almost his 100”.

But video conferencing can be used in any situation (we asko)?
“Typically yes. If there are reasons and doubts about the reliability of the texts, we proceed differently. But these are sporadic cases. For example, we had a trial for a criminal association that involved 38 entrepreneurs, located in every corner of Italy. They would have wasted days witnessing even trivial things… of having been scammed. Before, days were lost, months, years. Today it is possible to carry out processes in a short time".
 
And what is it for?
“Nothing extraordinary. In Cremona we have a fiber connection that goes to 60 ai 120 megabyte. Already since 2004 we started with the digitization of the documents and the staff followed all the phases with enthusiasm!”
 
And why this method is not adopted in every court? Avoiding citizens from wasting unnecessary money even just to move from one city to another?
“The reason is incomprehensible (and the farm, silence). Now I try to speak to the generations to come. These are valid solutions for the future. Finally they will be done…
