The law lays down explicit and detailed rules that financial intermediaries must follow with regard to their clients. These duties are now quite diverse and are laid down not only in the CVM, but also in separate legislation. Directive 2014/65/EU of 15 May 2014, transposed in 2018, is the cornerstone of the legal framework for financial intermediation and has led to an unparalleled evolution in the legal duties to which financial intermediaries are bound in their relationship with their clients, giving the latter greater legal protection. This book aims to contribute to the systematisation of the financial intermediation regime in Portugal.
Giuseppe Giusti Sinopoli (1866-1923) nacque ad Agira, in provincia di Enna. Da ragazzo pubblicò versi d'ispirazione patriottica. In seguito si avvicinò al teatro: prima come attore (fu capocomico al Machiavelli di Catania) e poi come autore. Nel frattempo si diplomò e si sistemò come maestro elementare nel comune di Nissoria; da Agira ove risiedeva, ogni giorno percorre, per recarsi al lavoro, la stessa trazzera degli zolfatari. Dall'esperienza diretta del Giusti con la dura vita delle miniere di zolfo trae spunto la zolfara. Uomini, consunti dalla disumana fatica, avviliti dalla miseria, incapaci ormai quasi di sperare e di avere fiducia, ne sono protagonisti. Dal dramma, nel 1912, è stato estrapolato un film muto diretto da Alfredo Robert. GAEditori, ne ristampa l'edizione integrale per contribuire alla salvaguardia della storia e dell'arte di Agira.
