The book explores the theme of promoting the environment and animal rights through a comparative and multidisciplinary approach. Most of the authors have a legal background, but the approach is not limited to law, because today more than ever a synergy between disciplines appears essential, and only by bringing together different perspectives and methodologies is it possible to build a valid alternative to the scientific and legal anthropocentrism that is still prevailing. Science and law must work together to create an alternative to the present reality, a reality that con-tinues to mortify animal beings and is progressively destroying our planet. Recog-nizing animal beings as legal subjects is crucial not only to guarantee their welfare from a legal point of view, but also to safeguard human welfare, since zoonotic diseases, such as those responsible for global pandemics, highlight the risks of uncontrolled human-animal interactions.Rethinking legal paradigms thus becomes imperative in order to prevent future crises and promote a more ethical and sustainable coexistence between human and non-human beings. In this volume, we have tried to propose a new paradigm by combining legal and medical-scientific expertise in a truly One Health perspective, hoping to contribute to the building of a credible alternative to the destruction of the planet we are witnessing.

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides valuable practical insight into both public supervisory legislation concerning insurance and private insurance contract law in Italy. An informative general introduction surveying the legal, political, financial, and commercial background and surroundings of insurance provides a sound foundation for the specific detail that follows.

The book covers all essential aspects of the law and regulation governing insurance policies and instruments. Its detailed exposition includes examination of the form of the insurance company and its reserves and investments; the insurance contract; the legal aspects of the various branches of property and liability insurance; motor vehicle insurance schemes; life insurance, health insurance, and workmen’s compensation schemes; reinsurance, co-insurance, and pooling; taxation of insurance; and risk management and prevention.

Succinct yet eminently practical, the book will be a valuable resource for lawyers handling cases affecting Italy. It will be of practical utility to those both in public service and private practice called on to develop and to apply the laws of insurance, and of special interest as a contribution to the much-needed harmonization of insurance law.
