Contents
For the academic year 2024/25, the course has monographic cut and is dedicated to some profiles of the history of commercial law from the late Middle Ages to the threshold of the promulgation of the current civil code and the Bankruptcy Law of 1942. The aim is not only to reconstruct the historical development of some commercial law institutions but also to read and interpret their discipline in the light of the political, social and economic context of reference. Much space is given to the history of legal thought, with the aim of providing as complete a picture as possible of the genesis of contemporary commercial law. After a few lectures devoted to the centuries preceding codification, the course focuses on the decades between the second half of the nineteenth century and the 1930s, when the jurists - and the reference is to both legal theorists and judges - gave prompt normative answers to the demands of a society in rapid and profound transformation, which were destined to condition the choices of the legislator of 1942.
