European studies

The course aims to highlight the ways in which the Romanistic tradition, variously articulated over the centuries and in the various territories of Europe, has contributed to forming the law of the various countries, starting with the Napoleonic code of 1804 and then, gradually, in the other civil coding experiences of our Continent. In this perspective, the principles that support the fundamental areas of European private law will be identified and analyzed in the light of the historical context and their main social and economic implications. The course also aims to gradually bring the student closer to the conceptual categories of European private law based on Rome, through the study of some private legal institutions able to allow observing the stratifications and hybridizations of the notions and interpretations of European private law. over the centuries, up to modern and contemporary codifications

The course highlights how Roman law’s tradition has contributed to the creation of modern European countries’ laws, from the Napoleonic Code of 1804 to other European civil codifications. According to this perspective, the principles regulating the fundamental areas of European private law are analyzed considering the historical, social, and economic context.

The course will be in-person, and class attendance is not mandatory.

The final exam will consist of an individual oral interview. It will take about 20 minutes and consist of three questions on different items.
