Temas e interpretaciones del derecho sucesorio italiano

The paper aims to demonstrate that the interpretations of the institutions of the law of succession that want to consider the family interest, as an expression of the principle of solidarity (increasingly in financial protection of heirs), always prevailing over all others cannot be shared more. Modernize the law of succession does not mean abdicating in favor of the contract, but to discover the value of private autonomy and the potential of the act of last will. It is the centrality of the human person and not just the principle of solidarity (even more if it is considered in the economic sense) the key through which the law of succession is waiting to be interpreted. We must recognize the centrality of private autonomy, and, therefore, the centrality of the act of last will, as a tool for the realization of the dignity of the person.
