The theme of liability involves different areas of law, in both national and international sphere. Starting from the study of the Ulpian notion of culpa lata (D. 50.16.213.2, Ulp.1 reg.: “lata culpa” est nimia neglegentia, id est non intellegere quod omnes intellegunt), the research aims to analyse the possible derivation from the ancient Roman Law of the concept of “gross negligence” which is found in various articles of our Codes and is often commented on in the judgments of the Courts and the Supreme Court. The investigation is likely to produce results of particular importance not only in our legal system but also in the comparative context.

Abstract
The theme of liability involves different areas of law, in both national and international sphere. Starting from the study of the Ulpian notion of culpa lata (D. 50.16.213.2, Ulp.1 reg.: “lata culpa” est nimia neglegentia, id est non intellegere quod omnes intellegunt), the research aims to analyse the possible derivation from the ancient Roman Law of the concept of “gross negligence” which is found in various articles of our Codes and is often commented on in the judgments of the Courts and the Supreme Court. The investigation is likely to produce results of particular importance not only in our legal system but also in the comparative context.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
