The article provides an introduction to the thought of Vittorio Frosini (Catania, 1922 - Rome, 2001), a jurist who contributed significantly to the development of cyberlaw in Italy. Firstly, the essay analyzes in what terms can be found in the idealistic vision of Frosini a connotation of '"technological humanism", and specifically of cybernetics, which had a significant influence on the theoretical approach of subsequent studies on the subject; secondly, it explains his theory of the legal order, given by the author as a symbolic and formalistic system, but especially with autopoietic structure and thus connected to cybernetics in the "objective" sense; thirdly, it presents a summary of the theory of interpretation, which can be put in relation to cybernetics in a "subjective" sense and to ethics of the situation understood as a new " technological moral".
