Abstract
Since the beginning of XIX century in civil law systems the code has been the preeminent legal source regarding private relationships. This position has come a little into shade following the enactment of new constitutions, standing at a more general level, and the flood of particular statutes, situated at one more specific. This precisely is the historical fate of the Italian civil code of 1942. In spite of this, the model of codification remains unavoidable point of reference in civil law discourse.
