The Teaching of Financial Law in Italy and Spain

Abstract

The work analyzes the thinking of distinguished professors such as Griziotti and Ranelletti: the former, founder of the economic and legal-financial school of Pavia, which supported the unity of the chair of financial science and financial law, insofar as both would have as their object the same financial phenomenon, the latter, founder of the Neapolitan legal-financial school, in favor of the teaching of financial law as a branch of administrative law. It also delves into the study of the two currents in the teaching of the science of finance and financial law imparted by jurists, the autonomy of the conceptual content highlighted by D'Alessio and Ingrosso as the object of the teaching of financial law, the thought of Sainz de Bujanda and its influence on the institution of the chairs of "Financial and Tax Law" in Spain, the contribution of Romanelli-Grimaldi to the individuation of the financial legal phenomenon as the object of the teaching of financial law, the contributions of Sica and Abbamonte to redirect the financial legal phenomenon to the constitutional principles and, finally, the influence of these contributions on the current recognition of the autonomy of the teaching of financial law.
