Iura propria. Un decennio di studi sugli statuti del Lazio (2006-2015)

The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the recent publications on communal statutes (and on statutes of the associations such as corporations, confraternities, hospitals) of Late Medieval-Early Modern Latium. Since the mid-1980s, studies on Latium statutes have had a significant role in the general revival of the interest in Italy for this important source of local law. In the last decade the development of events, researches and editions of texts has been decreasing. This is due to the lack of a public support for new research projects, to the fewer opportunities to pursue the academic career for young researchers working on the statutes and, last but not least, to the difficulties of the subject. Some proposals are explained to revitalize the studies of such an important source to investigate local society, law and institutions in the Papal Latium. An updated bibliography is published in the Appendix.
