Italian labor law, originally conceived as a unified discipline, has progressively developed into three main areas: labor law in the strict sense, trade union law, and social security law. Today, it constitutes an autonomous branch of the legal system, but its evolution is the result of a long historical process that began in the second half of the 19th century, in response to the economic and social transformations of post-unification Italy. The discipline evolved gradually, shifting from a liberal model based on contractual freedom to a more interventionist approach aimed at protecting weaker parties and reinforcing the active role of the State. This study examines, through legal and doctrinal sources, the key stages of this evolution—from the earliest protective legislation, through fascist corporatism, to the constitutional turning point of 1948, which established the fundamental principles of modern Italian labor law.
ll diritto del lavoro italiano, nato come disciplina unitaria, si è progressivamente articolato in tre ambiti principali: il diritto del lavoro in senso stretto, il diritto sindacale e il diritto della previdenza sociale. Oggi rappresenta una branca autonoma dell’ordinamento giuridico, ma la sua evoluzione è il frutto di un lungo processo storico iniziato nella seconda metà dell’Ottocento, in risposta alle trasformazioni economiche e sociali dell’Italia post-unitaria. La disciplina si sviluppa gradualmente, passando da un modello liberale, basato sulla libertà contrattuale, a uno più interventista, volto alla tutela delle parti deboli e al ruolo attivo dello Stato. La ricerca analizza, attraverso fonti normative e dottrinali, le principali tappe di questa evoluzione, dalla prima legislazione protettiva, passando per il corporativismo fascista, fino alla svolta costituzionale del 1948, che sancisce i principi fondamentali del moderno diritto del lavoro italiano.

Abstract
Italian labor law, originally conceived as a unified discipline, has progressively developed into three main areas: labor law in the strict sense, trade union law, and social security law. Today, it constitutes an autonomous branch of the legal system, but its evolution is the result of a long historical process that began in the second half of the 19th century, in response to the economic and social transformations of post-unification Italy. The discipline evolved gradually, shifting from a liberal model based on contractual freedom to a more interventionist approach aimed at protecting weaker parties and reinforcing the active role of the State. This study examines, through legal and doctrinal sources, the key stages of this evolution—from the earliest protective legislation, through fascist corporatism, to the constitutional turning point of 1948, which established the fundamental principles of modern Italian labor law.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
