I. INTRODUCTION
• the Amsterdam Treaty and the “communitarization” of private and procedural international law;
• the evolution of EU competence regarding family law matters.
II. BASIC NOTIONS
• the concept of family employed by EU legislative acts and case law of the Court of Justice of the EU: definitions of marriage, partner and child;
• other family relationships;
• the protection of family and recognition of family status;
• decisions in matrimonial and parental responsibility matters.
III. LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK
• Regulation No. 2201/2003 on jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of decisions in matrimonial and parental responsibility matters;
• the 1980 Hague Convention on the civil aspects of international child abduction;

• Regulation No. 650/2012 regarding succession matters;
• Regulations No. 2016/1103 and 2016/1104 implementing enhanced cooperation in the areas of matrimonial property regimes and property consequences of registered partnerships, respectively.
TEACHING METHODS
Classes are taught in Italian.
Classes will be held in the form of seminars and, therefore, the teaching methods need to be distinguished between attending and non-attending students.
As for attending students, the teaching will comprise both lectures focused on the study of the basic notions and legal sources regarding European family law and practical lectures during which the relevant case law will be discussed and actual cases will be solved.
Moreover, during the course some lectures may be held by family law experts (both academics and practitioners), with the aim of deepening specific topics that are particularly relevant in the given law field.
The teaching materials used during the course (legal texts and selected case law) will be provided to the students through the University e-learning platform.
As for non-attending students, the teaching methods will consist in the study of the proposed textbook (also taking into account the more recent legislative updates), to which the teacher can offer her support.
