Abstract
The work is dedicated to the deepening of the most relevant problematic issues raised by the financial leasing and emerged for their dogmatic and pratical importance. In the paper critical issues are analyzed in relation to the general aspects of the structure, the legal qualification of the financial leasing and the identification of the subjective profiles connotating the same, without, however, neglecting the immediate practical implications resulting from the connection with more specific and concrete issues that have revealed a marked relevance in recent years. Therefore, ample space is devoted to the investigation of the issues concerning the direct protection of the lessee towards the supplier of the asset, the identification of the applicable law in the event of default of the lessee, the correct classification of contract models emerged in practice or recently typed by the legislative authority such as the so called “consumer leasing” and the so called “residential leasing”. All things in a perspective aimed to question the real meaning of some current legislative interventions on the subject, also with a view to general reflection on the concepts of “typical” and “atypical” contract.
