After having been the subject of a long-standing theoretical debate, Participating Financial Instruments (pur-suant to Art. 2346, par. 6, of the Italian Civil Code), have gradually become widespread in joint stock compa-nies’ practice up to involving the jurisprudence, which has ruled on the main interpretative and practical questions presented by the legal institute. The study, after having explained the main theoretical issues about Participating Financial Instruments, analyzes the few, but significant case-law decisions in this area, that have helped to reopen the debate on the main problematic profiles; it also carries out a brief systematic reconstruction of Participating Financial Instruments in the framework of financial structure of joint stock com-panies.
Dopo essere stati oggetto di annose dispute teoriche, gli strumenti finanziari partecipativi di cui all’art. 2346 comma 6 c.c. si sono progressivamente affermati nella prassi societaria, sino a giungere alla prova della giurisprudenza che si è misurata con i principali problemi interpretativi ed applicativi che l’istituto presenta. L’itinerario, dopo aver illustrato le principali ricostruzioni teoriche su cui poggia la qualificazione degli strumenti finanziari partecipativi, ripercorre i pochi, ma significativi arresti giurisprudenziali in materia che hanno contribuito a riaprire il dibattito sui numerosi profili problematici dell'istituto, operando altresì una breve ricostruzione sistematica degli strumenti finanziari partecipativi nel quadro della struttura finanziaria delle s.p.a.

Abstract
After having been the subject of a long-standing theoretical debate, Participating Financial Instruments (pur-suant to Art. 2346, par. 6, of the Italian Civil Code), have gradually become widespread in joint stock compa-nies’ practice up to involving the jurisprudence, which has ruled on the main interpretative and practical questions presented by the legal institute. The study, after having explained the main theoretical issues about Participating Financial Instruments, analyzes the few, but significant case-law decisions in this area, that have helped to reopen the debate on the main problematic profiles; it also carries out a brief systematic reconstruction of Participating Financial Instruments in the framework of financial structure of joint stock com-panies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
