L’invalidità civile

Abstract

This article provides an overview on civil invalidity in Italy, starting from the first law, in 1939, in which the invalid subject was considered and a definition of invalid person was given. During the following years this status has been ascribed to even better defined categories of patients, and now a big system of invalidity calculation, economic and not economic social security benefits has been built. A detailed description of each benefit, including requirements and bureaucratic procedures, follows and a survey on the institutions involved, closes this article
