His early work focused on Roman law before he broadened his research and teaching to other branches of civil law. His membership on the National Public Council for Higher Education, on which he served from 1893 to 1913, led to his nomination as a senator on March 4, 1904, which became the launching point for a parallel career in politics; he served briefly as Minister of Justice in 1909 and 1910, as minister without portfolio from 1916 to 1917, and as Minister of Foreign Affairs during 1919 and 1920.

What did Vittorio Scialoja do in the 1920s effort to revise the Italian civil code?
He chaired the civil code sub-commission from 1924; little resulted beyond a first-book draft in 1930.
From 1924 Scialoja was called to preside over the first of the four sub-commissions of the royal commission charged with drafting the new codes, the one for the civil code. Not much came of the work except the draft of the first book of the code, presented in 1930. His biographer in the Italian national biographical dictionary suggests that Scialoja sought to avoid a substantial redefinition of private law, which at that moment would have overturned its liberal basic structure to the advantage of totalitarian and corporatist principles.
