TWO STUDENTS’ VOICE: MARTINA TIBERI AND GABRIELE AGNUSDEI PENSI

We did a resarch about the Italian Constitution which concerns the tutelage of work as a fondation for democracy.
Our Constitution is mainly aims at estabilishing how a democratic Nation has to defend the workers’ needs.

The following text is part of the 1st article of the Italian Constitution
“Italy is a democratic Republic based on work…”

It is evident that the work is the fondamental value of the Italian Democracy, so we think that the Italian experience in this ambit could be an example for the future European Constitution.
