Abstract

This paper attempts to analyze the most significant steps of the implementation and application of the Title V reform, in order to demonstrate that, after an initial phase, both the State legislator and the Constitutional Court have tried to limit the areas of Regions intervention. This trend seems evident with reference to statutory competence, form of government and competences system. This led to a large process of re-centralization of numerous competences in favor of the central State, causing inevitable repercussions on the management of the economic and pandemic emergency, but above all on the impossibility of implementing differentiated regionalism, stated by article 116 of the Constitution.
