Abstract

This research has a twofold target. For one extent it embraces on a wider historical period previous analyzed related to the innovative bodies of law introduced by the Vietti’s Reform in 2004, providing an overall evidence related to the Italian corporate system, ranging from consistency and dynamics of the different forms of legal entities, to their corporate governance and ownership structures. For another extent it proposes completely new data about other patterns of “Corporate Italy” which have never been enquired in a systematic way before. The paper provides a wide analysis of the ownership structures of unlisted joint stock Italian companies and of the limited liability companies describing the number of all the M&A deals or corporations’ transformation or liquidation during 2012.
