Summary/Abstract: The 1865 civil code was created based on the need for a National Code of Laws developed in short time, in order to rapidly witness to all Europe the power of the young Italian Kingdom, established in 1861. The task had thus a clear political objective and was carried out through intensive preliminary activities and discussions. The result, mixing harmonization and assimilation of different practices, was able to address traditional and cultural issues and also perspective growth needs of a society and an associated economy oriented towards future evolutions. The Napoleonic Code becomes the basic skeleton of the project, as it had already happened in the case of many codes developed by different States before unifi cation. Nevertheless, in spite of strong infl uences and innovations resulting from different experiences, some of the results were prone to remarkable weakness. The set of laws addressing the legal status of people with sensory disabilities is for sure one example of such a weakness.
