The Italian Supreme Court, by judgment No 15023/23, published on 29 May 2023, confirmed that the application for recognition of a foreign judgment in Italy, pursuant to Article 67 of Italian Law No 218/95, is not an introductory application for a judgment of knowledge for the establishment of a right, but an independent action, tending to a purely procedural decision. Consequently, that application shall not cause the interruption of the limitation period, pursuant to Article 2943(1) of Italian Civil Code.
