Dighe, laghi artificiali e bacini idroelettrici nell'Italia contemporanea
No full textNell'ambito del ricco dibattito sul ruolo economico dell'industria idroelettrica e nel tentativo di affrontare alcuni temi, da quelli economici a quelli territoriali e ambientali, collegati ad una possibile storia di dighe, sbarramenti e invasi artificiali nell'Italia contemporanea, i saggi raccolti in questo volume costituiscono un primo approccio per delineare l'intera vicenda della costruzione di laghi e bacini nel nostro paese, attraverso un confronto internazionale. I significati politici, sociali ed economici, insieme alle loro valenze ambientali, costituiscono la cornice generale entro la quale si collocano i saggi dedicati a casi particolari o situazioni specifiche, dall'area alpina (compreso il territorio svizzero) fino all'Italia meridionale

The grain trade and minorities in the early modern Italian Peninsula and beyond: An introduction
No full textThis paper introduces the Special Issue ‘Minorities and Grain Trade in Early Modern Europe’. While an area’s traditional supply circuits benefitted from satisfactory harvests and a stable food demand, minorities’ contribution became crucial during crisis. Due to their commercial networks, facilities, and capital, minorities and their agents were able to cope with market disruption, especially when inflation and the reconfiguration of supply areas rendered ‘traditional’ grain merchants unable to face the emergency. The papers included in the Special Issue focus on the geographical and financial scope of legal grain-trading minorities’ businesses and their degree of specialisation and analyse how political authorities’ reliance on minorities to face food scarcity not only represented an economic opportunity for minorities but also contributed to shaping their relationship with public authorities
Illegitimate Appropriation or just Punishment ?The Confiscation of Property in ancien régimeCriminal Law and Doctrine
No full textIn ancien régime criminal law, the confiscation of the whole of the property was a punishment for serious crimes, especially for those of a political nature. This was a complex punishment: it was connected to property rights and to being part of a society; it affected inheritance rights of children and spouse, as well as fiscal interests. Late 18th and early 19th century Penal Codes reflected the doctrinal hesitations on the legitimacy of confiscation. Not uncommonly, legislators thought that they could not abandon confiscation, in spite of all the principle declarations against it. In fact, confiscation of the estate seemed to never completely disappear. It has been outlined that it would return, when liberal political systems were in crisis.
Interest in the history of ownership rights is growing and spreading to different disciplines. Historians are turning their attention mainly to the
rise of private and individual ownership as it was codified in 19th-century liberal Europe. In writing this history, however, their perspective has
too often ignored the other side of the coin, namely the restrictions which the sovereign imposed on such rights, allegedly in the interest of the
community.
The papers collected in the present volume suggest that private property is not necessarily the most safeguarded legal model, hence it is not
less vulnerable to violation. They construct a close analysis of the most common forms of abuse of private property on record - expropriation,
seizure, and confiscation - perpetrated by public authorities. They also seek to define the uneasy, often intricate relation between legal and
legitimate. In a perspective of lights and shadows, the role of confiscation and expropriation changes : now seen as powerful instruments of
change, now as enduring factors of conservation in the evolution of private ownership rights

L'intervento pubblico nei rapporti contrattuali privati e la stima dei beni. La prassi lombarda della datio in solutum (secoli XVI-XVII)
No full textSale contracts and rental agreements involve the estimation of goods and estates. It is required to determine the price of goods and estates to be sold or the rent to be paid. Usually the parties make an agreement on the value of goods and estates and decide about the price and the rent. Legal doctrine has always been aware of this crucial topic in contract law: a 16th century Lombard jurists wrote that «Precium est rei aestimatio commutandae cum certo numero numorum dandorum ei, qui eorum dominus numquam fuit, sed quem tradens dominum facere tenetur» (G.C. Giussani, Tractatus de precio, et aestimatione secundum ius civile, Mediolani, 1615). The aim of this paper is to study the legal practice of estimation of goods and estates in 16th-17th century Milan Duchy, focusing on the so called datio in solutum, a special institute of contract law
