La Lectura Peregrina di Andrea da Isernia e la costruzione editoriale degli apparati al Liber Augustalis
2020
The history of the Liber Augustalis, from manuscripts to printed editions, make it possible to follow the path of adaptation of the glosses into two apparatuses, the Glossa Ordinaria by Marino da Caramanico and the Lectura Peregrina by Andrea da Isernia, which includes the notes of other jurists. Although moving in the wake of the literary genres of the school, this kind of interpretation is eminently practical. The aim is to create a link between the Liber Augustalis - still in force but often obsolete - and the law promulgated by Angevin sovereigns, fragmentary and unsystematic. For the legal science of the Regnum, the interpreter's task is to put together this different legal sources, cr…
Orphaned siblings and noble families in baroque Rome
2010
The essay investigates the impact of the premature death of the father on brother and sister groups in noble Roman families of the seventeenth century. More specifically, it explores how this loss reflected on the biographical itineraries of individual members of the sibling unit; how adelphic relations between the orphans were reformulated according to order of birth and first born or cadet status, age, and sex; and what forms of solidarity and competition were engendered by the loss of a father. Since demographic historians have shown that orphanage at an early age is an important variable, the author argues that it cannot be overlooked – as historians have done so far – in studies on fam…
From Ethnic Law to Town Law: The Customs of the Kingdom of Sicily from the Twelfth to the Fifteenth Century
2016
The history of Sicily, the largest island of the Mediterranean, is notably distinct from the history of the rest of Italy. It is because of this distinctiveness that Sicily can serve as a paradigmatic example of a pluralist legal system, one with a mix of both personal-law and territorial-law rules. In the time period that I examine in this essay, customary law took several different forms. What legislation, private records, and judicial decisions all call »custom« plays three different roles: law of specific ethnic groups, rights and customary practices concerning real property, and the law of towns.

The Barratry of the Shipmaster in Early Modern Law: The Approach of Italian and English Law Courts
2019
Summary For a long time, the concept of barratry (at least in its maritime meaning) was one and the same on both sides of the Channel. The barratry of the shipmaster was part of the mercantile usages, and it identified the intentionally blameworthy conduct of the master. When law courts began to decide on insurance litigation they were confronted with a notion quite alien to them. Broadly speaking, the shipmaster’s barratry could well be considered a fraud of sort. But in order to decide on its occurrence in a specific case, law courts had to analyse it in legal terms, and so according to the specific legal categories of their own system. The point ceases to be trivially obvious if we think…

La scoperta di un paradigma complesso. L'«Unternehmen» nel diritto commerciale e nella dottrina austro-tedesca del primo Novecento
2010
Dai primi anni del Novecento, senza una precisa definizione legislativa, senza un tessuto normativo coerente ed univoco, la scienza giuridica austro-tedesca ripensò in profondità la nuova realtà economico-sociale dell’Europa industriale, scoprendo e giuridicamente rappresentando, in tempo di «individualismo atomizzante», la dimensione collettiva ed organizzativa del fenomeno imprenditoriale. Il diritto patrimoniale, fino ad allora terreno privilegiato della proprietà, si impregnava di diritto dell’economia, con al centro l’«Unternehmen», quale paradigma collettivo e complesso che, secondo il messaggio divulgato da Ohmeyer, Pisko, Müller-Erzbach, Isay, Geller, ripudiava ogni chiave di lettur…
Usi pubblici e politici di Dante Alighieri
2022
The commemorations of Dante Alighieri ‘s 700th death anniversary saw in 2021 a ‘national’ and even a ‘nationalist ‘ Dante cropping up once again in the Italian public discourse. This article summarises the history of the public and political uses of the poet of the Divina Commedia: from the end of the 18th century, when his modern cult was born, to the Risorgimento, from the First World War to Fascism, up to the more recent ‘pop’ Dante.
