The essay explores the concept of culpa in contrahendo and its origins in Germany as a hypothesis of Rechtsfortbildung, comparing it with the parallel development of Italian law. At the core of the analysis lies the difference in the sources of obligations within the two legal systems. The study examines the evolution of German law, considering the original provisions of the BGB and the subsequent positivization of culpa in contrahendo and protective obligations through the Schuldrechtsmodernisierung. Finally, it contrasts these developments with precontractual liability in Italian law, particularly in the context of autonomous protective obligations, where the application of Rechtsfortbildung appears more balanced.

Abstract
The essay explores the concept of culpa in contrahendo and its origins in Germany as a hypothesis of Rechtsfortbildung, comparing it with the parallel development of Italian law. At the core of the analysis lies the difference in the sources of obligations within the two legal systems. The study examines the evolution of German law, considering the original provisions of the BGB and the subsequent positivization of culpa in contrahendo and protective obligations through the Schuldrechtsmodernisierung. Finally, it contrasts these developments with precontractual liability in Italian law, particularly in the context of autonomous protective obligations, where the application of Rechtsfortbildung appears more balanced.
