⚠️ The trap

Largely equivalent in legal sense. In Italy, parliamentary immunity is heavily debated. The 'insindacabilità' (immunity for votes/opinions) is absolute; 'autorizzazione a procedere' (permission to prosecute) for other acts was reformed in 1993. These distinctions are Italy-specific and do not map simply to English 'immunity'.

To say "protection from disease; legal protection from prosecution" in Italian:

immunità

"immunità" in English means:

immunity (legal protection from prosecution or civil liability)

Example

"I parlamentari godono di immunità parlamentare."

"Members of parliament enjoy parliamentary immunity."
