The event, funded by the governmental program PRIN 2017,[1] represented the final part of a research project conducted by Prof. Graziella Romeo (Bocconi University) on the opportunity to merge competition law and constitutional law based on the mutual and ambivalent relationship these two branches of law entertain with State power. Prof. Romeo’s intuition can be understood by bearing in mind that both competition and constitutional law are, on one hand, interested in controlling and delimiting State power and, on the other, deemed to accept it as a fundamental as well as necessary element. ...
