Martin Löhnig (Hrsg.), Northern Italy as a contact zone between Austro-Hungarian and Italian law, Torino (Giappichelli) 2025 (ISBN: 9791221113396).
After the Third War of Independence, Veneto was ceded to Italy in the Peace of Vienna (1866) between Italy and Austria. After the First World War, the southern parts of Tyrol, which had already been occupied by Italian troops during the war, as well as Trieste and Istria, were ceded to Italy on the basis of the Saint-Germain Peace Treaty (1919). In the new territories - as is often the case after territorial cessions or annexations - the previously applicable law simply continued to apply. Austrian and Hungarian law thus became Italian law. A few years later, however, they were replaced by the applicable Italian law. However, this was not done completely - some special features are still valid today. Other regulations inspired the pending all-Italian law reforms, such as the Codice di Commercio (1882), the Codice di procedura civile (1940) or the Codice Civile (1942). Beyond wars and disputes over self-determination and the protection of minorities, the territories of Austria that fell to Italy therefore appear to be a contact zone in which Austrian (less so Hungarian) and Italian law have entered into a particularly close relationship with each other, be it at the level of the existing body of norms, be it at the level of legal reform, be it at the level of everyday application of the law.
