He was appointed by the Court of Cassation to the Constitutional Court on 19 November 2010, and sworn into office on 9 December 2010.[1] He was elected Vice President of the Court on 12 November 2014.[2] On 8 March 2018 Lattanzi was elected President, he received 12 votes in favour and one blank.[3] In October 2019 the Constitional Court received severe criticism from political leaders Matteo Salvini and Nicola Zingaretti for a ruling regarding the rights of mafia-related convicts sentenced to life imprisonment. Lattanzi indicated that the criticism reached unacceptable levels, stating "..criticism is one thing, an attack is another."[4] On 9 December 2019 Lattanzi's term in the Constitional Court ended and he was succeeded as President by Marta Cartabia.[5]
