Italian civil code
The Italian Civil Code (Italian: Codice civile) is the civil code of Italy, a collection of norms regulating private law.[1] It was enacted by Royal decree no. 262 of 16 March 1942. It predates the current Constitution of Italy, and it was amended in the postwar period.[1] The 1942 civil code replaced an earlier civil code which was in force since 1865, and was based on an Italian translation of the Code Napoleon.[1]
