"Italy had so many appeals to the European Court of Human Rights against the unreasonable length of trials that the European Court, which had said that a trial should be considered unreasonable if it took more than two and a half years from the start to the first instance ruling, had to raise this assessment to three years because it could no longer manage to deliver judgments in two and a half years due to being overwhelmed by appeals from Italy. This explains why they get angry with us."
