Abstract
The essay aims to analyse the different regulatory techniques of France and Italy concerning employment relations in the sports sector and the consequences of these differences in classification. Central importance in this sense is assumed by the incidence of the status of a professional sportsman, which, while in France assumes a purely formal meaning with no influence on the nature of the relationship, in Italy, it represents, even if limited to athletes, a sort of passe-partout for the access to the “fattispecie” or type of subordinate sports employment and the relative particular regulation. The author identifies a decisive weight in this difference in the political factor.
