La dignità del lavoro intellettuale: il nodo dell'equo compenso

The Author focuses on the meaning of the term ‘dignity of work’ in the sphere of the Italian legal system. According to the Italian Constitution, human dignity is not an abstract concept, but a principle that operates in the realm of socio-economic relations. The most recent legislation has protected the dignity of work, including intellectual work. Specific attention is given to the legal profession and, in particular, to the rules on fair compensation, which ensure the dignity of workers against the economically stronger subjects, such as the banks and the insurance companies.
