Ewolucja kontraktu rolnego
(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2008) Giuffrida, Giuseppe
The paper presents the evolution of agricultural contracts (contratti agrari) which has for long constituted the fundamental instrument used in the regulation of legal relations under Italian agricultural law. Originally, the main purpose o f those contracts was to regulate the relations between such factors as land, labour and capital. Today, however, their scope has significantly broadened to reflect, as the author emphasises, the evolution of the concept of agriculture and agricultural law. First, the solutions applicable to lease and similar contracts provided for in subsequent versions of the Italian civil code (from 1865 and 1942) and some special acts are analysed. Next, norms regulating the deed forming a company and agri-industrial contracts are discussed with a view of presenting how agricultural regulations have adapted to accommodate the changes and evolution of agriculture, or. in other words, on the transition from land-bound agriculture focused on consumption to a market-oriented industrialised agriculture. Finally, contracts that farmers concluded with organs of public administration in public interest are presented. On the basis of the above it is postulated that a uniform category of agricultural contracts should be maintained.
