Luigi Pellecchi

Luigi Pellecchi serves as a Full Professor within the Department of Law, Political and International Studies at the University of Parma, Italy. He teaches core courses including Institutions of Roman Law for first-year students and Classical Rhetoric and Legal Argumentation for fifth-year candidates in the 5-Year Single-Cycle Master's Degree in Law program across academic years 2023/2024 through 2025/2026, demonstrating sustained institutional engagement.

His research centers on Roman Law's historical evolution and methodological intersections with classical rhetoric. Key investigations include juristic epistolary traditions, ritualistic elements in civil procedures (e.g., drawing of lots), and legislative foundations of Roman citizenship. This work bridges philological analysis of primary sources with modern legal theory, revealing continuities between ancient jurisprudence and contemporary legal frameworks through meticulous contextualization of statutes like the leges Iunia et Aelia Sentia.

Analysis of his 2023-2024 publications shows concentrated focus on micro-historical aspects of Roman legal practice. Recurring themes include the spatial dimensions of judicial processes, transmission mechanisms of legal knowledge through letters, and rhetorical strategies in juristic reasoning. His approach consistently prioritizes primary source engagement—particularly Proculus' epistles and Aulus Gellius' commentaries—to reconstruct nuanced social-institutional contexts underlying Roman legal concepts.
