Both in law-making activity and in judicial decisions concerning fundamental rights" enhancement, the years 1960-1979 coincide with a phase of great innovations. Despite the weak parliamentary majorities, a long series of deep-ranging legislative provisions are enacted in that period in the field of civil liberties and social rights: workers, women, mentally diseased persons and other neglected minorities enjoy individual entitlements and benefit from the establishment of a more coherent institutional arrangement of public services in many areas. The essay investigates these evolutions moving from the analysis of five different clusters of rights (workers, family, criminal procedure, right to health and sectorial reforms) and tries to highlight both lights and shades of such reform process.
