The main objective of the course is to introduce students to the knowledge of the Italian private law and in particular to its fundamental categories and rules. To this end, the course aims to enable students to learn a system of concepts and related terminology, also acquiring an understanding of the ratio and function of the rules. At the end of the course, students are called upon to demonstrate that they have: a) knowledge and mastery of the rules and principles of private law, allowing them to continue their studies with an adequate level of autonomy; b) ability to use legal language appropriately; c) ability to synthesize and link rules and civil code articles in relation to their specific effectiveness in application; d) ability to solve simple questions relating to the subject of private law.

More information
In preparation of the exam, I suggest the study of P. Perlingieri, Manuale di diritto civile, last edition. For the adoption of other manuals, please contact the professor. It is essential to consult an updated edition of the Civil Code and complementary laws (for example G. Perlingieri e M. Angelone (a cura di) Codice civile con Costituzione, Trattati UE e FUE, Leggi complementari e Codici di settore, Napoli). Other supplementary materials may be indicated during the lessons. On the e-learning platform the professor will upload the materials related to the course (power point presentations, case law, scholarly articles).
