This essay focuses on the problem of the unification of military criminal law in the first decade following the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy. It aims at an historical reconstruction of the various interventions regarding the military criminal codes, concerning respectively the «Regio Esercito» and the «Regia Marina». In this period it was, in particular, the «Codice penale militare marittimo», issued in 1869 after a troubled parliamentary process, to achieve the overcoming of the «old» 1826 Editto penale militare marittimo (extended to the Kingdom of Italy in the first years after the Unification), and inspired by two different models: the neapolitan Statuti penali militari per l’armata di mare (1819) and the French Code de justice maritime (1858). The enactment of these military penal codes, which took place in 1869 in the Kingdom of Italy, however, did not lead to the unification of legal discipline for the two branches of the italian armed forces nor to the full adaptation, mostly desired by doctrine, with the general criminal law
