Vulnerabilità e atti personalissimi

The new vision of people with limited autonomy, whose most emblematic effect was the introduction of the “amministrazione di sostegno” (supporting administration) into the civil code, calls for a reconsideration of the category of the so-called “atti personalissimi” (very personal acts). These are both the focal point of a deep doctrinal reflection and are subject of measures adopted by tutelary judges, in a difficult attempt to mark the boundaries between what the vulnerable persons can do on their own, what they can do together with the administrator, and what the administrators can do on their own, replacing the persons.
