The principle of compensation for moral damage reflects the recognition of the fact that the violation of rights can cause not only material damage, but also damage to the psychological well-being and dignity of the victim. Italian law allows persons who have suffered non- pecuniary damage to seek compensation from the person who caused such damage. Compensation for moral damage includes not only financial compensation, but also recognition of the violation of rights and public correction. Ukraine also has legislation regulating the compensation of moral damages, but the positive experience of Italy can be taken into account for its further improvement. For example, a possible perspective is the expansion of the categories of cases when compensation can be provided, as well as the clarification of the criteria for determining the amount of compensation. However, before implementing any changes in Ukrainian legislation, it is important to carefully study and adapt Italy's experience to the specific needs and peculiarities of Ukrainian society and the legal system. It is also necessary to ensure a high level of protection of the rights of persons who have suffered moral damage, and to ensure the implementation of compensation claims in a practical way.
