Ughi e Nunziante with Luigi Cascone to assist the City of Valencia in returning the “San Dimas” attributed to the Spanish master Juan De Ribalta

Posted on by admun2023

Milan, 2 March 2023 – Last February 28 in Valencia, Spain, the return of the work of art that was stolen in 1979 from the church of San Miguel de los Reyes and that, thanks to Interpol, was found in the possession of an Italian citizen who claimed its purchase by adverse possession, was officially presented to the public. The work of art is now back in Valencia where it will be exhibited at the City Museum after some restoration work due to the damages suffered at the time of the theft.

Luigi Cascone, Partner of Ughi e Nunziante – Studio Legale, assisted the Municipality of Valencia in the long-lasting civil litigation, which began in 2008 before the Court of La Spezia (Italy) to claim ownership of the painting and ended in 2021 with the rejection by the Court of Appeal of Genoa of all the appeals filed by the other party to the ruling that in 2016 recognized the ownership of the painting to the Municipality of Valencia.

The judgment was then followed by the release phase from the criminal court, which concluded last Friday with the painting’s return to its city of origin. Also in this last phase, the Municipality of Valencia was supported by Ughi and Nunziante with a team composed, in addition to Luigi Cascone, of Counsels Carlo Delle Piane and Carmen Oriani and Associate Flavio Rodi.

“Real Estate, the market is slowing down, but funds do not stop” – Andrea Ughi’s interview for ItaliaOggi’s thematic focus

Posted on by admun2023

Italia Oggi published an in-depth article by Antonio Ranalli on the Italian Real Estate market, which recorded a 20% increase in 2022 compared to the previous year.

The first nine months of 2022 were the main driver, raising 9.7 billion euros, against a sharply declining last quarter, partly due to the geopolitical situation that led to rising energy costs and interest rates.

According to Andrea Ughi, “The sector related to students accommodation is definitely on the rise, with an expected significant increase for the coming years. This trend reflects the progressive and constant growth in numbers of students enrolled at Italian universities. This is also due to Brexit, which has led to a reduction in the flow of students towards the United Kingdom, favoring a greater concentration of students in EU universities, among which those in many Italian cities have certainly come to the fore.

Last but not least, some regions allow these facilities, for a few months, to perform hostel functions, ensuring full occupancy of the structure all-year-round.

There is no slowdown in the office sector, and indeed market demand is always growing in the Milan market, which is increasingly managed by international real estate funds, both for development and marketing. As for the residential sector, there is a growing search for more space, which has led to the revitalization of less central areas, especially in large cities like Milan. This in turn is leading to major investments by market players in semi-peripheral areas (including build-to-rent transactions).”

“Shipping Law, the crisis opens up new spaces for law firms” – Andrea Marega interviewed by ItaliaOggi

Posted on by admun2023

This week, ItaliaOggi Sette focus is on the shipping sector.
Specifically, Antonio Ranalli conducted a survey on the structural changes and multiple challenges faced by the global maritime industry in the light of the pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
One of the professionals interviewed was our Partner Andrea Marega, expert in Administrative, Regulatory and Antitrust Law, who notes how the logistics, shipping and maritime transport sector has undergone such far-reaching changes globally that antitrust authorities in Europe and the US have exceptionally adopted exemptions in the fight against cartels.
Shipping companies – which were already expecting a decrease in overall maritime traffic – were allowed to join forces, resulting in a significant increase in the cost of goods.
The impact is such, says Marega, that it “calls into question the relocation of production, which is the result of the globalised economy”.
