Street Art as ‘Supervened’ Conformed Property: Civil Law Issues and Hermeneutic Solutions Between Italy and The United States
by Giulia Anselmo This essay examines the phenomenon of street art and its fascinating interconnection with property law. Framed in the complex intersection of law, social, and institutional practices in urban space, non-commissioned street art is characterized by its inherent impact on property law. To suggest possible solutions for the interpretation of the phenomenon, an analysis is proposed aimed at configuring a ‘supervened’ conformed property to further valorize these artworks that, overlooking the urban landscape, ultimately become part of it. To support this attempt, specific cases that have animated the legal debate in both the United States and Italy are examined, highlighting a crucial aspect for understanding the phenomenon: its evolution and the attempts that interpreters must make for its proper legal framing.
