Assessment: 
Voto Finale

The course deals with topics related to advertising and e-commerce law, with particular reference to the fashion industry. It is aimed at offering either a comparative and a socio-legal perspective. The aim is to highlight the different challenges that law has to face in regulating the world of marketing and advertising, following also the evolution and progress of technologies. This raises stimulating questions regarding the effectiveness and possible rapid obsolescence of identified rules. The fashion industry, with its importance to the economy and its reflections on culture and custom, is an intriguing area of study in this respect.
at the end of the course, the student will be able to:
- master the fundamental concepts concerning the regulation of offline and online advertising, in general and with specific reference to the fashion sector, with a focus on business and consumer protection;
- understand the different regulatory tools of commercial communication, developed at the national and supranational level, from a comparative perspective;
- reason critically about the effectiveness and practical impact of advertising regulations, particularly those applying to digital media.

A first part of the course (prof. Pozzo, 25 hours) will be devoted to a comparative examination of the regulatory tools of online and offline advertising, paying special attention to the guidelines developed at the European level. A particular attention will be paid to the fashion industry and its relevance in terms of communication and economics, and practical cases will be illustrated, eventually with the help of professionals in the field.
The second part of the course (prof. Reale, 25 hours) will be devoted to the emergence of self-regulation in the advertising industry, with particular reference to the Italian experience, and to the examination of the rules aimed at ensuring the fairness of online commercial communication. The benefits of self-regulation with reference to the fashion industry will be explained and practical cases will be proposed, possibly with the help of experienced professionals in this field.
