Law Cirinnà No. 76/2016 represents a fundamental step for the recognition of the rights of same-sex couples in Italy. This legislation introduced civil unions, providing a clear legal framework for their formalization and management. Let's analyze the key points of this law together.

Rights and Duties of Civil Unions

Civil unions guarantee couples a series of rights and duties similar to those of marriage. Among the main ones, we can list:

  • Moral and material support: Both partners must support each other.
  • Co-habitation: Obligation to live together, unless otherwise agreed.
  • Contribution to common needs: Both partners must contribute financially to their shared life.

Formation Procedure

The formation of a civil union occurs through a declaration made in front of the civil registrar, in the presence of two witnesses. This public act officially certifies the union, ensuring the legal recognition of the associated rights and duties.

Assets and Property Regime

Civil unions provide for a property regime that can be customized through the choice of community or separation of assets. It is possible to establish property agreements to detail the management of common and personal assets.

Dissolution of the Civil Union

The dissolution of a civil union follows a process similar to that of divorce. It can occur by mutual agreement or by unilateral decision of one of the partners. In both cases, it is necessary to follow a legal procedure that ensures the protection of the rights of both partners.
