The paper analyses the evolution of the Italian environmental criminal law, focusing the attention on the principal issues that jurisprudential practice has traditionally faced. Moreover, the contribution critiques the distortions of the general categories of criminallaw (in particular, abstract danger and crimes against the public sajety), connected with the judicial effort to ensure - seen the precautionary principie - an adequate protection of the enuironment, with all its basic elements (soil, air. water).
