Summary
Résumé
Les familles italiennes ont tendance à maintenir des relations étroites entre les membres de la famille, notamment entre les grands-parents et les petits-enfants, même lorsqu’ils sont adultes. Au début de la pandémie, au printemps 2020, il a été émis l’hypothèse, à juste titre, que cette proximité entre membres d’une même famille a contribué à un nombre très élevé d’infections par la Covid-19.
Il peut alors paraître assez surprenant que le droit italien ait longtemps accordé peu d’attention aux aspects juridiques des liens entre grands-parents et enfants. Ce n’est que récemment que le parlement italien a ajouté, dans le Code civil, plusieurs articles visant à reconnaître et organiser le lien entre les grands-parents et les enfants. Les tribunaux ont, pour leur part, d’abord appliqué cette protection aux enfants dont les parents vivent ensemble, puis aux enfants avec lesquelles les grands-parents ont une relation affective. Lorsque les deux parents sont absents ou perdent leur responsabilité parentale, le rôle joué par les grands- parents peut être crucial. Le « droit à une famille » de l’enfant est interprété, dans tous les cas où il n’est pas possible pour le mineur d’être élevé par ses parents biologiques, comme le droit de grandir dans sa propre famille élargie, composée des parents les plus proches comme les grands-parents, les oncles et tantes et les cousins.
Il est aujourd’hui normal que les enfants voient leurs grands-parents souvent. Pendant les jours les plus intenses de la pandémie, les relations entre les grands-parents et les jeunes ont sans aucun doute été mises à mal, mais elles ont été, par la même, une bonne raison de réagir et de prendre soin de chaque famille italienne.
THE FAMILY AS A COMPOSITE UNIT
A family can be more than the parent-child relationship. For many children – who can be considered fortunate – a family is a network of relational bonds that may also include grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles and, of course, brothers and sisters. Such bonds can vary in their closeness, and members of families may meet often or infrequently, depending on many factors relating to the specific features of each family, but also on the social characteristics of the area where the family is located.
