• Resumen

  • The article is about the Judgement of the ECtHR on the case Cusan Fazzo, which was about an Italian couple that wanted to give just the mother’s family name to their sons.

    This choice was however in conflict with the Italian law, which provides for the transfer of the father’s name and does not leave any choice about the name to transfer. The authors firstly analyse in depth the international legal background and the judgment Cusan Fazzo.

    Following, it is taken under consideration the Italian legislation so to explore the necessary modification that have to be adopted to be aligned with the decision of the Court.
