L'oggetto dell'azione civile nel processo penale

The work analyzes the subject matter of civil action within criminal proceedings, starting from a substantive law perspective to then examine its procedural implications. In particular, it provides an in-depth analysis of the structure of claims for damages (linked to Art. 2043 of the Italian Civil Code and Art. 185 of the Italian Criminal Code) and actions for restitution, defining the objective limits of res judicata as well as the rules governing the treatment of the claim in both criminal and civil venues.
