The Exclusion of Women from Inheritance Rights: An Unresolved Issue?
2021
In Italy, the women's exclusion from the inheritance is the principle that structures the property system of the families in medieval and early modern age and the social and juridical organization of these centuries, until the XIX century. Despite its importance, the exclusion of the women has never been an autonomous historiographical issue, but it has been ignored to advantage of analysis centered on the dowry system: emphasis has been placed mainly on the property rights of the women instead of observing the marginalization of the female part of lineages respect to the family wealths. The essay addresses two issues: the way in which statutory and state laws rule women’s exclusion from in…
Pena negoziata e arbitrium iudicis: le transazioni criminali nel Regnum Siciliae (secc. XIII-XV)
2020
Contesti politico-istituzionali come il Regnum Siciliae sono tradizionalmente considerati esenti o, quanto meno, poco inclini a cessioni di potere e autonomia in favore dei soggetti privati in materia criminale. Se, però, il potere absolutus non ammette la delega ai privati nella gestione e risoluzione delle controversie, specialmente criminali, che tipo di funzione e natura giuridica hanno le composizioni meridionali? Se la natura dello strumento transattivo non fosse iuris privatorum a quali esigenze e scopi poteva rispondere la pratica compositiva? E ancora, se nel contesto comunale la scientia iuris si concentrò prevalentemente sul pregiudizio che una pace privata poteva avere sull’inqu…
La costruzione del genere nel diritto medievale: norme e dottrina
2022
Since the 12th century, the legal status of women has been one of the most complex problems. The general principle provides a clear division: women cannot do what men are allowed to do. But both jurists and laws have to deal with exceptions and identify particular categories of women or particular situations for which the general principle falls by contingent necessity. This essay investigates the legal origin of the gender distinction in medieval law and the contribution of canonical doctrine. Through the juridicization of scriptural and patristic sources, and canons and decretals, canon law sets some milestones in the construction of women's legal identity and creates the grid of prohibit…

Ordinatio ad Casum: Legal Causation in Italy, 14th-17th centuries
2023
The book examines the development of legal causation in Italy from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries, focusing especially on practice-oriented literature (decisiones and consilia). Causality began to be discussed from the late thirteenth century and especially during the first half of the fourteenth, when it was described as ordinatio. In private law, ordinatio remained the standard approach to causation during the entire early modern period: centuries of legal practice mainly refined its scope but did not change its core. By contrast, its application in criminal law would increasingly clash with the intentionality requirement, and so it was progressively challenged.
The Reception of Positivism in Spain: Pedro Dorado Montero
2021
The current thesis focuses in one of Spain’s most relevant authors: Pedro Dorado Montero. Acting as a bridge between the criminal law conceptions of the 19th and 20th centuries, Dorado Montero offered a very unique, original theory: the ‘Derecho protector de los criminales’ (Protective Law of the Criminals). Towards the end of the 19th century, a clash between the penal neoclassical theories and the new positivist theories took place. As a result, the hegemony of the old school was contested. To this respect, Dorado Montero’s scholarly career, the context in which he lived and the several European and other international influences he received are duly analysed. Therefore, Dorado Montero’s …
Exceptional women: Female merchants and working women in Italy in the early modern period
2018
The chapter examines the juridical construction of working woman in Italian cities during the medieval to modern period. In fact, the world of work and production had been generally thought by medieval and early modern jurists to be a sphere best left to self-regulation by the interested parties, an autonomous field, if not quite extraneous to the grand systems of Roman and canon law. But many regulatory and legal sources demonstrate the relevance of merchant and working women in the economic system. This sources concern three items, regarding female work and family roles: female membership and activities in the Italian guilds; women’s property and capability to act; the relationship betwee…
