Art and Law: Authentication and Assessment Within the Italian Legal System
by Giampaolo Frezza The aim of this paper is to investigate specific matters linked to the so-called authentication and judicial verification of the authenticity of artwork in the Italian system. After an analysis of the so-called right of authentication and archiving of the work of art (Art 21, para 1, of the Constitution), the essay analyses the issue of court assessment of the artwork’s authenticity, for the purposes of which a case-by-case assessment of the adequacy and reasonableness of the related claims is required.
