“A che punto è la notte?” L’approccio interculturale all’immigrazione fra capacità e accomodamenti*

The paper analyzes the two main approaches to the cultural diversity (interculturalism e multiculturalism), highlightning the criticalities about the first and the consonance of the second with the Italian Constitution. Particularly, the attention is placed on the links between interculturalism, the approach of skills developed by Marta Nussbaum and the construction of the so-called reasonable accommodation test. Finally, it is verified if and in what way the intercultural approach is developed in judicial decisions taking a cue from two rulings of the Supreme Court relating to the cases of the kirpan and the display of the crucifix in schools
