10/10/2020 – Giuseppe Auletta, Vino nuovo in otri vecchi? Brevi riflessioni sugli “effetti” di un reality show nel diritto matrimoniale [New Wine into Old Bottles? Brief Reflections on the “Effects” of a Reality Show in Matrimonial Law]
This work is inspired by a judicial case that was decided by Tribunale di Pavia, involving the validity of a marriage celebrated during a famous reality show. The work begins by examining the difference of opinion between the Court (that deemed the marriage valid) and some authors (that considered it invalid, because of celebrated ludendi causa) to analyze the problem philosophically, applying categories like reality, fiction, simulation, representation, etc. The paper ends with a proposal to avoid the simple application of old categories to new facts and suggests opening a debate about new norms to manage new phenomena.
