6 THE ITALIAN LAW JOURNAL NO. 2 (2020) An Anthropological Reading of Surrogacy and the Role of Supreme Courts by Salvatore Aceto di Capriglia Far from being confined within the narrow confines of law, the theme of surrogacy evokes delicate meta-legal questions arising from the evident axiological, moral, and religious implications. The patchwork of solutions adopted across the various legal systems provides legislators with food for thought, in the expectation of a regulatory intervention at national and international levels, to bring about a new and unavoidable child-centred change of perspective in the legal debate.
