OVERVIEW

The course focuses on certain fundamental aspects of property rights, paying particular attention to the connection between the Civil Code and the Italian Constitution, as well as the current problematic junctures posed by, on the one hand, the so-called commons, and, on the other, the relationship between private autonomy and the social function of private property.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course has two main formative objectives: i) a sufficient knowledge of the discipline of property rights, contained in the third book of the Italian Civil Code; ii) a critical analysis of some open problems, because of the indispensable connection between Italian and Euro-Unitarian regulations. In this second profile, the analysis of some judicial materials, carried out collectively in the classroom, is aimed at the development of an autonomous critical spirit in the face of some fundamental legal problems in the subject matter that constitutes the object of the course.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The general and didactic objective of the course is the understanding of the general principles of the subject, so that students can independently use the acquired knowledge also in a critical and applied way.

In addition, on the basis of the transversal skills covered in the training objectives, students will, by the end of the course, acquire the ability to communicate effectively in written and oral form, adapting their communication to the context and using various sources and aids.

Students will also refine their critical thinking and ability to use, process and evaluate information, with particular reference to argumentative skills.

TEACHING METHODS

Frontal lectures, with collective classroom discussion, aimed, in particular, at the acquisition of transversal skills focused on dialectical and argumentative abillity.

Working students and students with certified DSA, disability or other special educational needs are advised to contact the lecturer at the beginning of the course to agree on teaching and examination methods that, while respecting the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning patterns.
