Abstract:
Northern Italy as a Contact Zone between Austrian-Hungarian and Italian Law" documents the results of an international research project that comprehensively examines for the first time the development of civil law in the territories acquired by Italy after the Third Italian War of Independence and after the First World War. In these territories, the previously applicable Austrian-Hungarian law simply continued to apply. After a few years, the applicable Italian law replaced it, but some special features are still valid today. Other regulations inspired the pending all-Italian law reforms. Beyond wars and disputes over self-determination and the protection of minorities, Northern Italy therefore appears to be a zone in which Austrian and Italian law have entered into a particularly close relationship with each other. A book not only for legal historians, but for all lawyers who wish to explore this important chapter in European legal history.
