Concorrenza “à l’italienne”. Osservazioni sulla recente apertura della titolarità di farmacie alle società di capitali e sul regime di incompatibilità dei soci, con precipuo riguardo al divieto di svolgere qualsiasi attività lavorativa

The paper takes into account the recent reform implemented in Italy by law n. 124 of 2017 dealing with pharmacies' ownership and management. This law envisaged, among others, the possibility of creating capital partnerships in order to gain ownership of pharmacies. With this possibility, the lawmaker wanted to pursue the implementation of competition in the market for the sale to consumers of medicines. The author, in particular, assesses the incompatibility of taking part into a capital partnership and focuses the several inconsistencies and contradictions of the legislative intervention of 2017, which if not properly interpreted might give raise to constitutional issues.
