Home to towering casinos and yacht-filled marinas, this tiny but picturesque principality is squeezed into just under 500 acres; its sleek, modern buildings and traditional Mediterranean villas rest at the foot of a rugged mountain surrounded by glistening sea views, making it a prime location on the Riviera. An advantageous tax regime has made the country a tax haven for the wealthy, which, along with its lavish lifestyle amenities and sky-high security, has led to its strong standing in the global property market. With the principality’s newest and tallest residential skyscraper currently being completed, Monaco could next year be home to the world’s most expensive property per square foot. Monaco’s Newest Jewel Rising above the azure waters of the Mediterranean, Tour Odéon (Odéon Tower) is a home between the sea and the sky. The soaring 557-foot double residential tower overlooks the stunning coast, Larvotto Beach and the Ligharian Sea. It will come onto the market next year and its real estate representatives say it will set a new standard for luxury living on an international scale.

  • THE PRINCIPALITY of MONACO Giuseppe Franco Ferrari*
    29 THE PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO Giuseppe Franco Ferrari* Despite its limited size and population, the Principality of Monaco has all of the characteristics of a full-blown State, both in terms of internal sovereignty, construed as the power to make provision in relation to its own legal order through the adoption of legal norms, and also in terms of external sovereignty as independence from other foreign States. This paper provides a legal and historical background to the constitutional law of Monaco; it also considers the influence on that constitution of the treaty relationships with France and the membership of international organisations. ______ En dépit de sa taille réduite et de sa population limitée, la Principauté de Monaco réunit toutefois toutes les conditions pour être considérée comme un État souverain à part entière. Pouvant librement légiférer pour organiser son ordre juridique interne, la principauté de Monaco est aussi considérée comme l'égale des autres nations sur le plan international. Cet article offre dans un premier temps aux lecteurs un panorama des fondements juridiques et historiques du droit constitutionnel de la Principauté; puis examine, dans une seconde partie, quelles sont les conséquences des relations conventionnelles particulières qui lient cet État à la France ainsi qu'aux institutions internationales. ______ Il testo fornisce una panoramica generale dell'ordinamento del Principato di Monaco, prendendo le mosse dalla ricostruzione delle vicende storiche che hanno condotto alla configurazione attuale del Piccolo Stato. Dopo l'excursus storico, si passa all'analisi della Costituzione del Principato di Monaco, emanata dal Principe Ranieri III nel 1962, ponendone in evidenza le * Professor of Law, Università Bocconi, Milan; International Academy of Comparative Law, Vice- President.
