This article chiefly deals with the development of the Italian case law relating to the problems of localization of damage arising out of tortious acts in international situations. It concerns the identification of the place of damage considered both as a jurisdictional connecting factor and as a criterion for selecting the applicable law. The relevant case law is analyzed in its actual development within the different regulatory frameworks that have followed over time since the Italian codification of 1942 and the entry into force of the 1968 Brussels Convention on Jurisdiction and the Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Com-mercial Matters up to the 1995 Private International Law Act and the Brussels I, Rome II and Brussels I-bis regulations. The partial “incorporation by reference” of the Brussels Convention and its subsequent amendments in force for Italy into the 1995 Private International Law Act effected by Article 3, section 2, of the latter has entailed the renunciation by Italy to maintaining an autonomous national regulation of jurisdiction in matters of liability in tort
or delict. As a result, the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union has gained a largely predominant role over that of domestic case law in this area. The article therefore concludes by examining the most important issues that have emerged in recent years in the case law of the European Court of Justice in the field, namely those relating to violations of personality rights and to so-called purely financial damages.

[En]: In view of its exit from the European Union, the United Kingdom adopted in 2018 the EU (Withdrawal) Act that provides as a general principle for the maintenance of the Union acquis in its domestic legislation as "EU-retained law". In the field of private international law and judicial cooperation in civil and commercial matters, however, the Ministry of Justice, acting upon the powers conferred by the Act, has passed several Regulations that revoke most of the European uniform rules now in force. This article offers an overview of the likely legal setting that, in light of the adopted rules, will preside over the UK-EU relationships with respect to matters of private international law, and in particular to matters of jurisdiction and recognition and enforcement of judgments, of insol-vency, of family law, of the law applicable to contractual and non contractual obligations, as well as other sectors of cross-border legal issues involving both individuals and companies.

Abstract. —This paper deals with the problems relating to the recognition of legal situations created abroad, particularly in the field of personal and family status, with a view to comparing the results that may be obtained by having recourse to the different methods of private international law. The contribution shows the inability of the classical conflict-of-laws methods to ensure the transnational continuity of such legal situations to the extent required by the current needs of international life. In fact, such methods may make it impossible to recognize in the forum State situations created abroad on the basis of a law different from that or those designated by its conflict-of-laws rules. The paper analyses the new method of recognition, or méthode de la reconnaissance, both from a technical and from a political point of view. Particular attention is devoted to the influence exerted in Europe by the case-law, of the EU Court of Justice and of the European Court of Human Rights respectively, on the spreading out of the said method, which can presently be implemented by courts in many European countries by the direct application of the relevant rules of the European Treaties and of the ECHR. Lastly, the paper examines, the limits of the current legislation and the solutions that could be adopted, from the standpoint of a future reform of the Italian system of private international law, specifically in the fields of surnames and forenames, marriage, registered partnerships and the creation of relationships of kinship.

SOMMARIO: 1. L’articolo-recensione dedicato da Paolo Picone al mio corso dell’Aja sul rinvio nel diritto internazionale privato: ragioni di un confronto mancato. — 2. Rapporti tra il rinvio e i metodi di coordinamento tra ordinamenti teorizzati e sistematizzati da Picone. — 3. Origine storica del rinvio di tipo « semplice » nella concezione iniziale del rinvio come problema di natura astrattamente logica anziché di diritto positivo. — 4. Regolamentazione positiva del rinvio nelle legislazioni e negli strumenti di diritto internazionale privato uniforme moderni ed insostenibilità attuale del rifiuto della sua presa in considerazione che caratterizza il rinvio di tipo « semplice ». — 5. La tesi di Picone che assegna al rinvio la funzione di rendere applicabili nell’ordinamento del foro leggi straniere che si considerino egualmente tali e riconosce valore di criteri utilizzabili al fine di verificarne la volontà di applicazione unicamente alle norme di collegamento contenute nei rispettivi sistemi di conflitto e non anche alle soluzioni da questi accolte in tema di rinvio: valutazione critica. — 6. Superiorità del rinvio «integrale » rispetto al rinvio « semplice » sotto il profilo del rispettivo grado di funzionalità come strumenti di coordinamento derivante dalla possibilità offerta dal primo di ricostruire compiutamente la posizione effettiva dei sistemi di conflitto stranieri. Il problema dei rapporti tra due leggi che si rivolgono un richiamo reciproco accompagnato da una clausola di accettazione del rinvio « integrale »: necessità per ciascuna di esse di adottare in tale ipotesi una soluzione autonoma, che, nella logica propria del modello di rinvio in questione, dovrebbe consistere nel perseverare nell’originaria designazione della legge straniera. — 7. Esame degli argomenti addotti da Picone a sostegno della sua posizione di contrarietà al rinvio « integrale ». — 8. Possibilità di interpretare l’art. 13 della legge italiana di diritto internazionale privato in senso favorevole all’accoglimento del rinvio « integrale ». In particolare: vantaggi offerti da tale soluzione ai fini di un corretto trattamento delle diverse ipotesi di rinvio altrove.

Riassunto: L’articolo illustra il regolamento UE 650/2012 che sara applicabile negli Stati membri dell’Unione europea, con l’eccezione di Danimarca, Irlanda e Regno Unito, a partire dal 17 agosto 2015. Si tratta di un testo ampio e complesso, che conta 83 considerando e 84 articoli, e regola tutti gli aspetti internazionalprivatistici di una successione: la competenza, la legge applicabile, la circolazione delle decisioni giudiziarie e degli atti pubblici. Dopo aver precisato il campo di applicazione del regolamento, lo studio analizza le norme sulla legge applicabile, per quanto riguarda sia il collegamento oggettivo che la professio juris , nonche la speciale disciplina dedicata ai patti successori, la questione della legge regolatrice della forma delle disposizioni testamentarie, il rinvio e i limiti all’applicazione della legge richiamata. Vengono poi esaminate le norme sulla competenza, che sostituiscono completamente le corrispondenti norme interne degli Stati membri ed includ...
