Lo statuto giuridico dell'omogenitorialità in Italia e in Europa

[Machine translation] The objective of the contribution is to reconstruct the relationship between sexual orientation and parental status. This analysis will be conducted investigating whether and to what extent heterosexuality or homosexuality affect the subject's suitability to achieve this bond. In these terms, an instrumental introduction will be made to the identification of some models of parenting, which will then be used as criteria for the reconstruction of the different sources of law that, in Italian law and in European law, concern the status in question. In this sense, the condition of parent will be studied with regard to its recent evolutions which, recognizing new parental statuses, have outlined a different relationship between homosexuality and filiation.
