Articolo 1 della Costituzione Italiana

Article 1 of the Italian Constitution

“ L’ Italia è una repubblica democratica fondata sul lavoro” così recita il primo articolo della nostra Costituzione, volendo sottolineare l’ unione inscindibile tra democrazia e lavoro. A settant’anni dalla sua entrata in vigore, sotto la spinta della globalizzazione ma anche della miopia della classe politica, il lavoro resta soprattutto per i giovani una chimera, spezzando di fatto il patto fondativo dei nostri padri. L’ opera, che da una lettura superficiale può sembrare meramente provocatoria, vuole trasmettere accanto al senso di frustrazione di chi si avvicina al mondo del lavoro la consapevolezza tuttavia della propria dignità e della forza delle sue potenzialità in termini di saperi e creatività

"Italy is a democratic republic based on work," says the first article of our constitution, emphasizing the inseparable union between democracy and work. Seventy years after its entry into force, under the auspices of globalization but also of myopia of the political class, the work is, above all, a chimera for young people, breaking in fact the founding pact of our fathers. The work, which from a superficial reading may seem merely provocative, wants to convey alongside the sense of frustration of those who approach the world of work but the awareness of their own dignity and the strength of their potential in terms of knowledge and creativity.
