The ECHR Grand Chamber judgment reversed the decision of the second section of the Chamber, establishing that no violation of Article 2 of Protocol no.1, as interpreted in the light of Article 9 of the Convention, had been committed by Italy. According to the Court, the compulsory display of the crucifix in Italian State-school classrooms must not be considered as a form of State indoctrination towards pupils and, as a consequence, it does not restrict the right of parents to educate their children in conformity with their convictions. Nevertheless, the Court limits the analysis to the compatibility of this behaviour on the part of the State with the freedom of parents to educate their children, without taking into consideration the direct infringement of the right of schoolchildren to believe or not believe, enshrined in Article 9 of the Convention.
