Commercial Law in the Papal States of the Restoration: The Provisional Regulation of 1821 Between the Napoleonic Legacy and the ius commune

This research will analyze papal commercial law during the Restoration era, examining the impact of Napoleonic legislation on common law beginning with the 1821 Regulation. The study will examine the debate on commercial jurisdiction, codification projects, and university teaching in Rome. Based on archival sources and contemporary legal scholarship, the study aims to chart the comparison between the “mos italicus” and the French school. The ultimate goal is a comprehensive reconstruction of the system, complete with a bibliography of sources and scholarly publications
