Learning Objectives
The course is aimed at providing students with knowledge of the historical dimension of law, as a social and economic experience. In particular, the purposes of this course are: 1) to illustrate the sources of Italian law from the end of the political and legal unit of Italy due to the Lombard invasion, to the modern age; 2) to study the history of the legal systems that characterized the legal pluralism in Europe and Italy, especially with regard to the history of the exercise of the legislative power; 3) to study the connections between the history of law and the forms of economic activity, particularly with regards to the history of commercial capitalism.
The course is also aimed, through the study of the ONMI, at introducing the general knowledge of the law of protection of woman and motherhood, as a basic matter in the complex mosaic of Fascist population policy.
