Memory, Method and Vision in Business Crisis Law.
On Monday, February 16, the Court of Modena will host a nationally significant event dedicated to business crisis law and insolvency proceedings: the conference in memory of Vittorio Zanichelli, Magistrate and Jurist, a leading figure who made a decisive contribution to the evolution of the culture of corporate restructuring in Italy. The initiative is held under the scientific direction of Quaderni di Ristrutturazioni Aziendali and features the participation of Gobid Group as sponsor.
The Conference will take place in Courtroom 3 of the Modena Courthouse, located in Corso Canalgrande. The event is held under the patronage of the Order of Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts of Modena, the Foundation of Chartered Accountants, and the Modena Bar Association.
Beyond Professional Training.
A high-level specialist training opportunity that goes beyond traditional regulatory updates. The structure of the proceedings is designed to combine interpretative rigor with operational practicality: the analysis of the daily challenges faced by receivers, commissioners and professionals is intertwined with a systematic vision of business crisis law, restoring centrality to a working method grounded in consistency, balance and responsibility.
The memory of Vittorio Zanichelli thus becomes an opportunity to transform the legacy of his insights into practical tools, capable of guiding professional action within the current regulatory framework.
It is essential to highlight the authority of the scientific framework, guaranteed by the Quaderni di Ristrutturazioni Aziendali. Directed by Stefano Ambrosini and Franco Benassi, this quarterly journal differs from the well-known portal ristrutturazioniaziendali.ilcaso.it/ (dedicated to daily updates) for its vocation toward systematic in-depth analysis. The Quaderni, in fact, select contributions and case law, linking them through a thematic “common thread”: a rigorous methodological approach that is perfectly reflected in the organization of this conference, elevating it from a simple legal chronicle to a moment of “doctrinal synthesis.”
A Program with a Dual Focus, Integrating Operations and System
The proceedings will begin at 2:30 p.m., with institutional greetings from Dr. Rizzo, President of the Court of Modena; Dr. Russo, President of the Third Civil Section of the Court of Modena; Dr. Masini, Public Prosecutor; Dr. Cavani, President of the ODCEC of Modena; and Attorney Mariani, President of the Modena Bar Association. Following the introductory remarks and the tribute to Vittorio Zanichelli, delivered by his daughter, Attorney Federica Zanichelli of the Parma Bar, the conference will unfold in two complementary sessions, reflecting the two essential dimensions of the crisis professional: the operational and the systematic.
The Operational Dimension: Managing the Procedure
The first session, introduced by Professor Stefano Ambrosini, Professor of Commercial Law at the University of Eastern Piedmont, will focus on the practical aspects of managing insolvency proceedings. Speakers will include Dr. Renato Rordorf on “acts of fraud by the debtor and the duty of fairness and good faith,” Dr. Luciano Panzani on “conflicts of interest and the formation of creditor classes.” The “feasibility of the plan” will be addressed by Dr. Enrico Vernizzi, while Dr. Alessandra Mirabelli will focus on the “reservation phase.” The session will conclude with Dr. Carlo Bianconi and Dr. Antonella Rimondini, who will provide an in-depth analysis of the critical issues of judicial liquidation.
The Systematic Dimension: Principles and Perspectives
The second session will offer a broader perspective on the general principles and interpretative developments in the field. Professor Stefania Pacchi will address over-indebtedness, Professor Edgardo Ricciardiello will analyze the role of the judge in negotiated solutions, and Professor Luca Mandrioli will explore the topic of extraordinary administration.
The concluding remarks will be delivered by Professor Sido Bonfatti, followed by final greetings from Professor Andrea Mora, closing a day that promises to be of significant scientific and professional depth.

Gobid Group: A Commitment Combining Memory, Authority and a Qualified Network
For Gobid Group, participating in the Conference in memory of Vittorio Zanichelli means supporting and standing alongside a moment of reflection that recalls the cultural and methodological foundations of business crisis law.
Being part of a discussion dedicated to such a prominent figure in the national legal landscape means recognizing the value of continuity between doctrinal development, judicial practice and professional operations. A legacy that, in line with Zanichelli’s teachings, continues to guide the work of judges and professionals called upon to manage increasingly complex procedures.
Within this framework, participation in the event also represents a strategic opportunity for Gobid Group to consolidate and develop qualified relationships with judges, receivers, judicial commissioners and industry professionals. Strengthening the network is not conceived as mere institutional presence, but as an investment in a structured and ongoing dialogue aimed at building relationships based on trust, specialized expertise and shared objectives: essential elements for addressing the challenges of contemporary insolvency proceedings with vision and consistency.
