ABSTRACT: The Author makes a journey through the memories of the friendship with Vittorio Colesanti, highlighting his profound sensibility as well as his superior cleverness and going back over the main stages of his fruitful academic life, enriched by the challenging closeness with some of the major jurists, such as his master Enrico Tullio Liebman, Enrico Allorio and Giuseppe Stolfi. By remembering the foremost Vittorio Colesanti’s writings, through few hints at technical issues, the Author praises his work overall, seen in the wake of Chiovenda’s teaching, that has made him become one of the finest scholar of civil procedure and bankruptcy law.
