Antonio Capizzi
I am Researcher (Tenure-Track) in Commercial Law at the Department of Legal Sciences - University of Rome La Sapienza, as well as a member of the board of the doctorate at the same department in "Private Autonomy, Business, Labour and the Protection of Rights in the European and International Perspective".
I am qualified as associate professor in Commercial Law and I am currently teaching Banking Law, Law of Financial Intermediaries and Markets and International and European Commercial Law.
I used to be a lawyer, currently on the special register of full-time professors.
I graduated in Civil Law in 2010, discussing a thesis entitled 'L'exceptio doli nel quadro delle clausole generali', supervisor Prof. Nicolò Lipari, receiving the distinction of publishing the thesis. Also at La Sapienza, I obtained my PhD in Economic and Business Law in 2015.
In 2016-2020 I conducted my research activity as research fellow at Sapienza University of Rome and the Free University of Bolzano.
I spent some periods as visiting research fellow at IALS (Institute of Advanced Legal Studies) in London and as Visiting Researcher at EBA (European Banking Authority), funded thanks to the 'Felice Gianani' grant awarded by ABI (Italian Banking Association) and the Italian Students Fund.
I am the PI of university and national research projects (PRIN, Research Projects of National Interest)
I wrote a book entitled "Operazioni straordinarie e tutela degli investitori - tra rimedi ostatitvi e rimedi compensativi" (Extraordinary transactions and investor protection - between hostile remedies and compensatory remedies), and of articles on corporate, bankruptcy and financial market law published in leading national and international journals.

Papers by Antonio Capizzi
In this commentary, which follows an earlier paper in which I commented on the appeal decision, I focus on two specific profiles. First, I criticise the assertion that the Russian roulette clause is valid only because it is contained in a shareholders' agreement (with the consequence that the issue is left open if it is contained in the articles of association of the company). Secondly, I seek to develop a hint (more precisely, an obiter dictum, given that in the present case the existence of abusive conduct was excluded) made by the supreme court on the remedies available to a shareholder who suffers the abusive activation of the Russian roulette clause (challenge to the existence of a deadlock as maliciously 'manufactured'; compensation for damages; exceptio doli generalis)
On 1 December 2023, a conference will be held at the Faculty of Law of the Sapienza University of Rome that intends to resume the debate already begun at a previous study meeting held in Bolzano on 7 October 2022 and that, on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the 2003 reform of the Italian law on joint stock companies, intends in particular to stimulate reflection on the following topic: whether the specific characteristics, in terms of financial structure and corporate governance model, of the company V. C. backed company find in the current rules of Italian company law a comfortable bedrock and an effective support, or, on the contrary, the rigidity of some of those rules constitutes an obstacle or a brake to the development of a financing technique that is increasingly important at a global level
Con queste osservazioni si critica la sentenza n. 263/22, che ha dichiarato incostituzionale una norma interna per violazione dell’art. 16 della dir. 2008/48/CE come interpretato dalla CGUE nella discutibile sentenza Lexitor. Ricostruita la genesi della norma e le profonde differenze di contesto economico e normativo esistenti negli Stati membri (anche sotto il profilo degli Interest Rate Ceilings, IRC), si critica la meccanica trasposizione dei discutibili esiti di Lexitor, vieppiù alla luce della sua smentita da parte della decisione Unicredit Bank Austria e dal (coevo) processo di revisione della direttiva.
The second objective is to verify how the by-laws of Italian VC-financed start-ups concretely address some specific problems posed by Italian company law, with particular regard to the reformed s.r.l.
regulations. In this perspective, the study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first empirical contribution to investigate the contractual architecture of the Italian innovative start-up world.
per escludere che ne ricorra la possibilità nel caso di specie, il tema
della sindacabilità nel merito delle delibere di raggruppamento
di azioni, oggetto di risalente attenzione in dottrina e di
(non numerose) pronunce giurisprudenziali
