Codice Civile

The Codice Civile, or Civil Code, is Italy’s main legal document that outlines the laws governing private relationships and everyday life. It covers areas such as contracts, property, family law, inheritance, and personal rights. Its purpose is to provide a clear legal framework to ensure fairness, order, and consistency in dealings between individuals. The Civil Code guides courts, lawyers, and citizens in resolving disputes and understanding their legal obligations and rights within civil matters. Essentially, it functions as Italy’s foundational law for managing personal and commercial relationships.
