Abstract
This essay aims to present the ‘simple adoption’ regulation provided in Italy
(“adozione in casi particolari”). After remembering the historical development, it is focused on the
main features of this institution (purpose, requirements and effect). Some disputed issue are then
considered. In particular, the author investigates whether ‘simple adoption’, as amended by the
recent filiation law reform, creates legal relationship between the child and the relatives of the
adoptive parents. Another topic is the ‘simple adoption’ of foreign minors. The paper takes into
account the law reform proposals that are currently debated in Parliament too.
