| Program: |
| I) The institutional structures of the Italian States and the system of sources of law of the 16th-17th centuries will be analyzed, also in light of the works of the greatest Italian jurist of the 17th century, Giovanni Battista De Luca. II) An overview of the legal literature of the modern age, of the schools and cultural trends of which it was an expression, will be illustrated. A particular focus will be on citizenship. III) We will follow the emergence of critical positions towards the traditional legal order, from Ludovico Antonio Muratori to the Enlightenment, to then examine the reforms of the enlightened Absolutism of the late 18th century and the epochal turning point marked by the French Revolution and the Napoleonic codification. |
