Abstract
The Italian private law landscape appears much clouded. Nevertheless, the sensation of turmoil is less significant with reference to family law, because it seems possible – after several reforms and the courts’ decisions – to identify a specific trend in this section of private law. This paper aims to examine the new trend of family law. In particular, the analysis of the latest reforms reveals a general shift to an individual dimension, offering not only a special focus on patrimonial issues and private interests, but also a relevant enlargement of children’s and parents’ fundamental rights. This “privatization process” gives rise to many doubts about the current role of family law in our legal system.
