| Abstract | The importance of the recent Italian law reform on filiation, which unifies the status of the children in front of the law, is epochal in the Italian legal system. It determines a change in the notion of family in the legal sense within the Italian legal system. Family in the legal sense is no longer just the family based on marriage. Unlike the other legal systems of the Western legal tradition, in which this essential change came through the introduction of new familiar models regulated by law, such as civil unions or registered partnerships, Italy achieves this result through the reform of filiation of 2014. |
