What's different about an NDA in Italy
Italian law has no consideration doctrine and NDAs are generally form-free, but articles 1341 and 1342 of the Civil Code require certain "onerous" clauses, including limitation of liability language, to be specifically approved in writing through a second signature, separate from signing the document itself, or they're ineffective.
