For Erasmus Students who have chosen the optional exam textbook “N. de Luca, European Company Law, Cambridge University Press, last edition”, the exam program corresponds to the subjects covered in the textbook.

Recommended text for the study of the legal constructs involved in the programme: G. FERRI, Manuale di diritto commerciale, a cura di C. ANGELICI - G.B. FERRI, Utet, sixteenth edition. According to the student’s preferences, using other updated university textbooks is allowed (for instance, to study company law issues, A. Stagno d'Alcontres - N. De Luca, Manuale delle società, Giappichelli, Torino, 2020). It is recommended that students, including non-attendants, study the notes and case study material made available on the portal.
In any case, it is necessary to integrate the study of the individual legal constructs with the examination of the Civil Code, the laws concerned and the judgments that will be made available on the portal.
