Abstract: Abstract The paper discusses the critical reading proposed by Antonio Rosmini Serbati (1797–1855) on Antonio Genovesi’s (1713–1769) idea of property right and its derivation (testaments, legations, donations mortis causa). This criticism encompasses a broader analysis of Genovesi’s economical and anthropological account. I aim at showing to what extent Rosmini’s interpretation addresses Genovesi’s thought, and to what extent his economic reflections can be read as a continuation of the tradition of Civil Economy. This, in turn, will offer the possibility to analyse the ‘right of mutual assistance’, theorized by Genovesi and not recognized by Rosmini, and its implication for our societies.
