Master thesis Non-material damage: the regulation in the Italian legal order is intended to analyse legal institutes of compensatory law as they are known in Italy. Damages can be manifested in a wide variety of forms. The practicality of labeling each and every form of it is questionable. Over the last few decades there has been a chaos among Italian jurists, since they didn't know exactly what belongs to the so-called category of biological damage, moral damage, existential damega, tanatological damage. Each of those categories has in interesting story behind, many of them with a questionable law substrat, but each with its own genesis and method of use.
The Italian Civil Code provides a few general rules on the compensation of damage. Various tables used for the award of compensation for non-pecuniary damage have arisen from the lack of more explicit regulation. In fact, the most used and applicable table is one of the Milano's court, created to unify the treatment and determine the level of monetary compensation, which, with an appropriate individualisation of the compensation, brings stability into the legal system.
