    The issue of recognition in the Italian legal system of "Kafalah", the instrument used in the Islamic countries to take care of abandoned children or children living in poverty, has been addressed by the Italian courts in relation to the right of family reunifications and adoption. The aim of this paper is to analyse judgment No 226 of the Juvenile Court of Brescia, which in 2013 rejected a request to adopt a Moroccan child, made by Italian spouses, on the grounda that the Islamic means of protection of children is incompatible with the Italian rules. The judges followed judgment No 21108 of the Italian Supreme Court, issued tha same year. However, the ratification of the 1996 Hague Convention on parental responsability and measures to protect minors, which specifically mentions Kafalah as one of the instruments for the protections of minors, may involve an adjustment of our legislation. A bill submitted to the Italian Parliament in June 2014 was going in this direction, defining kafalah as "custody or legal assistance of a child". however, in light of the delicate question of compatibility between the Italian legal system and kafalah, the senate decided to meditate further on hoe to implement kafalah in Italian law. Therefore, all rules on the implementation of kafalah have been separated from ratification of the Hague Convention and have been included in a new bill.
