La cultura giuridica a Napoli nella specola della giurisprudenza. La causa Costanzo e le conclusioni del procuratore generale D'Azzia (1811)

The analysis of findings of Alessandro D’Azzia – Attorney General at\r\nthe Court of Appeal of Naples – concerning a fideicommissum dating from 1706,\r\nhas enabled us to highlight the main characteristics of neapolitan legal science of\r\nXIX Century. As Azzia, neapolitan jurists pass through by jurisprudencial system\r\nof the ancient regime to legal system without too much trouble. They apply the\r\nprovisions of Napoleonic Code but don’t forget their legal tradition. In particular,\r\nthey make frequent use of Roman law, of humanistic legal science, of ancient\r\nregime neapolitan case law. They also cite french doctrine and jurisprudence. All\r\nthese legal sources harmoniously contribute to configure a composite dialectic,\r\nnecessary to resolve controversial legal questions.
