Returning to Pavia, he finished his Italian law studies with a doctorate (laurea in giurisprudenza) in 1967. The unpublished doctoral thesis (supervised by Rodolfo Sacco) had the topic: "Metodi di interpretazione e problemi in tema di procura". A year later he continued his law studies at the law faculty in Münster. For a few months he also studied at the Faculté de Droit in Strasbourg .

In 1984 he obtained his habilitation at the Law Faculty of the University of Frankfurt am Main with an investigation into the case law of the Reich Chamber of Commerce and the reception of Roman common law in the 16th century. He also received the venia legendi for comparative civil law, Roman law , German and European legal history .

Here he heads the research center for “European civil law / Droit civil européen”. He has accepted numerous invitations and visiting professorships at European law faculties ( Barcelona , Murcia , Krakow , Bari , Rome , Milan, Turin , Leuven , Leiden , etc.). In early 2000 he was temporarily visiting professor at the Sorbonne in Paris .

Prof. Ranieri's research concerns European civil law, comparative law and the recent history of European private law, in particular continental European civil law. Ranieri has published more than 150 publications in these fields, ranging from books to essays, most recently a manual on the “European Code of Obligations”. At the time, the work was named the “Legal Book of the Year 2000” along with several other books (NJW 2000, p. 1618 ff.). In 2003 he was able to publish an extended edition as part of a DFG project. Between 1996 and 2004 he worked as an author and co-editor on the project “New Pauly. Encyclopedia of Antiquity ”, in the volumes on reception and impact history. In May 2001 he was invited as an expert by the Legal Committee of the German Bundestag to a hearing on the reform of legal training planned at the time and on the draft of the Law of Obligations Modernization Act . A study carried out with the help of the Fritz Thyssen Foundation on models of “European” legal training is to be completed soon. In July 2006 he was invited to the International Congress of Comparative Law in Utrecht as one of the German national reporters.
