The article is intended to introduce Italian maritime law into Korea. Italian law in general has not been known to Korea so far. This is the first attempt to look into Italian maritime law. But it turned out that it is not easy to introduce Italian maritime law without addressing on Italian Civil Law in general. The author therefore attempted to align it in line with what Korean maritime law tries to do so that readers easily understand it without fully understanding Italian Civil Law in general. It turned that there are many areas of Italian maritime law which are innovative and therefore conducive to our future better legislation. With time constraint due to a short time allowed to present this paper, the article has to be satisfied with a short overview on Italian maritime law. In particular it has to rely on the Italian Navigation Act in which the provisions equivalent to our maritime law is contained. Knowing shortcomings and imperfection in the research, the author attaches at the end of this article a translation of the relevant part of the Italian Navigation Act so that the reader who are in doubt can have access to the material direct.
