PROFESSOR VILLATA’S FORTHCOMING VOLUME ON PUBLIC CONTRACTS

February 2014

The Studio Legale Villata, Degli Esposti, Perfetti e Associati is anticipating next month's release of the latest monograph on public contracts entitled "I contratti pubblici di lavori, servizi e forniture" ("Public Contracts regarding Work, Services and Supplies") compiled and edited by professor Riccardo Villata together with professors Mario Bertolissi, Vittorio Domenichelli and Giovanni Sala. The editors and authors are all notable university lecturers, magistrates and lawyers particularly experienced in the sector of public contracts. While this volume covers all aspects of public contracts, it does so without following the conventional formula of other commentaries on the Code of Public Contracts. Indeed, this volume, which systematically encompasses every aspect of this subject in light of the recent developments in legislation, jurisprudence and of the most knowledgeable scholarship, is a comprehensive work in its own right.
