Manuale di diritto dei consumatori e dei risparmiatori

This book, conceived for educational purposes, offers an analysis of the principal regulations currently in force in Italy designed to protect consumers and investors. The substantive provisions of these regulations are explained while providing a summary of the most important legal decisions and a synthesis of the different positions concerning the most controversial practical issues. All of this is presented without losing sight of practical reality and the concrete problems emerging from legal decisions. The treatment of the various topics is prefaced by an overview of the history, the context and the stimuli from which the nucleus of regulations protecting consumers originated, beginning in the 1980s. The majority of these principles have been included in the Consumer Code following its institution in 2005.
