Abstract: The intensification of migratory flows is at the origin of the formation of multicultural societies, so called because characterized by the presence of "new minorities", consisting of people uprooted from the original settlement and bearers of family models inspired by principles found in the legal systems of countries of origin or based on customary or religious norms; principles that often appear very distant from those of the countries of immigration. It is therefore necessary to settle the conflicts between the different legal cultures that come into contact, taking into account the nature and plurality of interests involved and having regard to the way in which these interests take shape in the context of family relations.
