The essay deals with the very firstyears of legal education of Salvatore Satta: his departure from Nuoro to attend the university first in Pisa, then in Pavia and finally in Sassari where he graduated in July 1924 with a dissertation on bankruptucy law. Retracting the link with James Delitala (one of the main Italian criminal lawyer), the essay deals with the arrival of Satta in Milan and his meeting with Marco Tullio Zanzucchi, professor of Civil Procedure at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. The paper investigates the relationship between Zanzucchi and Satta both from the human and the professional point of view. Furthermore, the work takes into consideration the first publications of Satta (1925 and 1926) in "Rivista di diritto Commerciale" and in "Vita e Pensiero", the interruption of the studies in 1926 due to his permanence in the sanatorium of Merano until he became lecturer in civil procedural law when he was 30 (in 1932). The essay points out why Satta was considered to be a grat jurist and writer since the beginning of his career since he has succeded in establishing itself between the leading experts of the Italian Civil Procedure and defying the great and undisputed masters, from Francesco Carnelutti to Giuseppe Chiovenda, thanks to his independence of thought.
