I can point to a few decisions by the Italian Constitutional Court (and I am sure most people in this country can) but they simply have no... name beyond "sentence number X year Y" and I am not going to remember that. It is also obviously much less politically contentious and powerful than SCOTUS, and I think the biggest gripes with it are not even about laws it has struck down but its very broad interpretation of inadmissibility grounds for referendum questions.

I doubt a significant share of Italians can name a single US Supreme Court case except probably for Roe v. Wade, and even that must include many who learnt what that is last week and may forget about it soon enough.
