As the reader will easily attest, we believe that, on the subject of the relations between private law and fundamental rights, much more is at stake than the methodological-dogmatic problem of the form of development of private law. First of all, a much more interesting and acute problem is under discussion: the identity or the nature of private law. This is a problem whose solution is not inscribed in the firmament of the legal system or in any aprioristic or natural idea of private law and which, therefore, constitutes a problem that is always open, the answer to which cannot but be sensitive to the time of the question. It is true that, today, the author's intention is of little relevance in the process of determining the meaning of a text, but nevertheless, we are reminded of our essential purpose in this work: to offer a vision of the problem of the horizontal effectiveness of fundamental rights that invites the reader to ask about the meaning or the proprium of private law.
