Abstract

The studies of the Belle Époque on matters of company law reached, in Italy, a very high technical and cultural level, despite the tardiness in the capitalistic and industrial development and undoubtedly deserve in-depth investigation. In fact, they benefitted from a time, so to speak, both from the general climate of renewal of legal studies in a liberal State grappling with the many social and financial problems of economic development, and from the special circumstances of those years, marked by the widest circulation of people, ideas and capital beyond the national state borders. In particular, based on the careful studies already completed by the historiography on the evolution of the discipline of limited companies in Italy, the contribution would like to highlight the approach to the theme of the Italian legal doctrine in the first decade of the 20th Century, to capture its particular method of analysing and evaluating its participation in the vast phenomenon of innovation and imitation in the field of company law, already in course in Europe since the second half of the 19th Century.

Keywords: Corporate Law, Italy 19th-20th centuries, Comparative Law
