The Supreme Court of Cassation, known in Italian as the Corte Suprema di Cassazione, is the highest court of appeal, or court of last resort, in Italy, seated in the Palace of Justice in Rome. Beyond deciding final appeals, the Court ensures the correct application of law in the inferior and appeal courts and resolves disputes over which lower court, penal, civil, administrative, or military, has jurisdiction to hear a given case.
