    How Online Withdrawal Rights Are Changing in Italy

    As of 19 June 2026, withdrawing from a contract concluded online should become as simple as signing up for it. In this episode, journalist Antonio Ravenna interviews Federico Toscani of DLA Piper to unpack the new Article 54-bis of the Italian Consumer Code (Legislative Decree 206/2005), introduced by Legislative Decree 209/2025. At the heart of the conversation is a new obligation for businesses selling at a distance: they must provide a clear, visible, and easily accessible digital withdrawal function — effectively a "withdrawal button" placed on the same online interface used to enter into the contract. Over the course of the interview, Federico Toscani and Antonio Ravenna discuss: 1. the rationale behind the rule, and why it exists to rebalance the ease of purchase against the difficulty of cancelling; 2. what the withdrawal function must actually include (button wording, the withdrawal declaration, and the details identifying the consumer and the contract); 3. the confirmation step and the acknowledgment of receipt sent on a durable medium; 4. the moment at which withdrawal is deemed validly exercised in relation to the statutory deadline (paragraph 7); 5. what companies should do right now to bring their websites, apps, and customer journeys into compliance and avoid disputes. A valuable episode for e-commerce operators, legal departments, compliance teams, and anyone working in the digital market who wants to align their withdrawal process with the transparency and accessibility standards required under the new regime.

    Is the DPO Responsible for a Cyber Attack?

    In this episode of Legal Break, Giulio Coraggio, location head of the Italian Intellectual Property & Technology Law group at the law firm DLA Piper and the journalist Antonio Ravenna explain an important Italian court decision about DPO liability, GDPR, and cyber fraud. A company lost €390,000 in a Business Email Compromise (BEC) attack: criminals sent fake payment instructions and the money went to the wrong bank account. The company tried to blame its external DPO, but the Court of Florence (Decision No. 3034 of 29 May 2026) said no. Giulio and Antonio explain, in clear and simple words, why the DPO’s job under the GDPR is to advise and monitor, not to make security decisions, and why the duty to put real security measures in place stays with the company. They also share practical lessons: why good documentation is the DPO’s best defense, why ignoring the DPO’s advice can create liability for the company, and why naming a DPO is not a replacement for real cybersecurity.  Send us Fan Mail 📌 You can find our contacts 👉 www.dlapiper.com

    AI Value Gap and AI Act: Why 81% of Companies Fail to Turn AI into Real Business Value

    Why are 82% of companies investing in artificial intelligence, yet 81% fail to generate real business value? In this episode of Diritto al Digitale, hosted by Giulio Coraggio, technology and data lawyer at the global law firm DLA Piper, we explore the growing AI value gap and its profound legal and strategic implications for businesses. The episode provides a detailed legal analysis of why artificial intelligence initiatives often remain isolated and fail to scale, focusing on critical issues such as AI governance, AI Act compliance, and GDPR risks. It explains why treating AI as a simple technological tool—rather than a regulated system—creates both missed opportunities and significant exposure to liability. We also examine the implications of high-risk AI systems under the AI Act, the regulatory challenges posed by AI agents and autonomous decision-making, and how evolving legal frameworks are shaping the future of AI adoption in Europe and globally. A key focus is on governance: how companies can design structured AI governance models to enable scalability, ensure compliance, and turn AI into a true competitive advantage rather than a legal risk. This episode is designed for legal professionals, in-house counsel, compliance officers, and business leaders dealing with AI regulation, data protection, and digital transformation. Key topics include: AI value gap, AI governance frameworks, AI Act requirements, GDPR and automated decision-making, AI agents regulation, legal risk management, and scalable AI adoption. If you are advising on or implementing AI strategies, this episode will help you understand why the real challenge is not the technology itself—but how it is governed, structured, and legally managed.

    AI Act vs US AI Policy Framework: Regulatory Divergence and Its Impact on Global AI Governance

    The global race to regulate artificial intelligence is accelerating—and companies can no longer afford to ignore it. In this episode of Diritto al Digitale, Giulio Coraggio, Technology and Data Lawyer at DLA Piper, analyzes the growing divergence between the EU AI Act and the US AI Policy Framework, two competing models that are reshaping AI governance, compliance, and innovation strategies worldwide. The European Union is advancing a risk-based regulatory framework under the AI Act, reinforced by the latest developments of the Digital Omnibus package, introducing stricter obligations for high-risk AI systems, data governance, and compliance by design. At the same time, the United States is pursuing a more flexible, policy-driven approach based on soft law, voluntary standards, and ex post enforcement. What does this mean in practice for companies operating globally? This episode explores: - The latest updates on the EU AI Act and Digital Omnibus - The structure and impact of the US National AI Policy Framework - Key differences between ex ante compliance and ex post enforcement models - Legal, operational, and reputational risks for businesses using AI - Why AI governance is no longer optional for organizations If your business is developing, deploying, or integrating artificial intelligence, understanding these regulatory dynamics is critical to managing risk and staying competitive.
