Our law firm has its roots in the second decade of the last century, when Silvio Marzari Senior (1886-1967) started to practice as an advocate (avvocato). He went on to become a judge, and reached the peak of his career as Chief Public Prosecutor (Procuratore Generale) at the Court of Cassation in Rome.
Silvio Marzari Junior has continued the family’s legal tradition, and thanks to his academic experience at Italian and foreign universities, he re-founded the law firm focussing primarily on civil and commercial law - with particular reference to international private law and procedure, as well as EU legislation, and more generally, relations with other countries; more specifically, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK, the USA, Brazil and other Latin-American countries, as well as the Far East, especially China and South-East Asian countries. Over the years, the firm has put together a consolidated team of practising lawyers whose individual areas of expertise are therefore complementary to one another’s.
Among them, particular mention should be made of Avvocato Gabriella Maggiora, who is exceptionally knowledgeable on administrative law, and who has become a point of reference for key public bodies and economic organisations;
Avvocato Roberto Nicolini is renowned for his skills in economic and commercial relations, and more generally, for his business acumen abroad, notably with Germany and other Northeuropean countries;
Avvocato Stefania Gioco is highly reputed for her expert skills in relations with German-speaking countries and abroad generally, where she specialises in agency and distribution agreements, transport law and personal loss or injury, including loss of amenities and other immaterial damages and transnational issues;
then, Avvocato Stefania Brugnoli is widely known for her expertise in procedural matters, as well as questions relating to substantive civil and commercial law, in addition to administrative law;
Avvocato Stefano Carrara is well-known for his technical ability in resolving complex labour law and property law issues, including those relating to leases.
Avvocato Alessio Albertini specialises in banking litigation and real estate enforcement orders, as well as inheritance issues.

The lawyers in our team have all spent part of their professional training abroad, and most of them work fluently not only in Italian but also in English and German, with specific reference to transnational business operations in their respective areas of civil and commercial law, including company law questions such as acquisitions and mergers, transnational inheritance issues, intellectual property, negotiation and drawing up of contracts, including supply, distribution and franchise agreements, agency and transport agreements, real estate issues, arbitration, bankruptcy and related insolvency procedures.
Consequently, our law firm has become a point of reference for major Italian business groups, assisting them in setting up their establishments abroad or even representing them in foreign litigation, as well as providing assistance to many foreign companies, mainly German, who are active in Italy.
A specific department in the law firm is dedicated to administrative law - for which we are widely known – dealing with all its various aspects, including construction, planning, expropriation for public utilities i.e. compulsory purchase of land, public procurement both in Italy and at a European level, trade law and the general public law of the economy, etc.; as well as litigation before Regional Administrative Courts and the Council of State and the Court of Auditors in Rome.
The law firm also has a well-established network of correspondents in Italy and all the major European countries, as well as in the United States, Brazil and the Far East.
