Abstract
The paper looks at how Democratic Innovations performed in the process of amending high-ranked constitutional legal sources. It focuses on two case studies: that of the Italian Provinces of Bolzano and Trento. Between 2015 and 2017 the Provinces conducted two parallel participatory processes with the aim of reforming the basic law of the Region (the Statute of Autonomy) in a participatory fashion. The paper intends to analyze the two procedures and situate the analysis in the broader framework of participatory Constitution-making
