Italy is a country with a high hydrogeological risk. According to data sup plied by the Directorate-General for Territorial Protection, about 6,663 Italian municipalities are potentially in danger. The increasing occurrence of cata strophic events raises several legal issues: compensation for flood damage; the insurance profiles of natural risks; exclusion of contractual and non-contractual liability. Regions, provinces and municipalities can be considered responsible according to art. 2051 of the Civil Code, in cases where flooding of water courses is caused by poor river maintenance. In this case, the prevailing juris prudence considers that exceptional rain cannot be an accidental case.

Abstract
Italy is a country with a high hydrogeological risk. According to data sup plied by the Directorate-General for Territorial Protection, about 6,663 Italian municipalities are potentially in danger. The increasing occurrence of cata strophic events raises several legal issues: compensation for flood damage; the insurance profiles of natural risks; exclusion of contractual and non-contractual liability. Regions, provinces and municipalities can be considered responsible according to art. 2051 of the Civil Code, in cases where flooding of water courses is caused by poor river maintenance. In this case, the prevailing juris prudence considers that exceptional rain cannot be an accidental case.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
