Autorità e autonomia nelle fondazioni: i controlli gestori

This work proposes an updated interpretation of the norms dedicated to the regulation of the foundations in the Civil Code. A specific attention is devoted to the regulation of the controls over the administration of the foundation (art. 25 Civil Code), which suffers of a dated tradition of interpretation, no more aligned to the streams of the legislative reforms of the last 10 years and the case law. The role of the statutory autonomy in designing the structure and the functioning of the foundation is the key to understand the future developments of the foundations, and to decipher the recent legislative proposal to restructure the part of the Civil Code dedicated to the non-profit organizations.
