Abstract
In the previous chapter we concentrated our attention on local properties of curves, that is, on properties that can be studied looking at the behavior of a curve in the neighborhood of a point. In this chapter, on the contrary, we want to present some results in the global theory of plane curves, that is, results that involve (mainly but not exclusively topological) properties of the support of the curve as a whole.
