Profili della responsabilità dell'appaltatore ex art. 1669 c.c.

[Autom. eng. transl.] When art. 1669 of the Italian Civil Code, as its objective presupposition, speaks of "immovable property intended by their nature for a long duration" does not prescribe that the work carried out consists of a quid novi with respect to the pre-existing building, being sufficient that the intervention is of such a nature as to be intended for long duration, and therefore regardless of the fact that a new work can be identified with its own functional autonomy. The "serious defects" required by art. 1669 of the Italian Civil Code, in order for the ten-year liability of the contractor to be asserted, they must affect the normal use of the asset, according to its own destination, since it is not necessary that they concern structural elements of the work.
