Sumari:The article takes into consideration the notion of Reddito di cittadinanza (Italian basic income), a social instrument conceived to combat growing poverty. Established by Italian legislator with law 28 january 2009, no. 4, the Reddito di cittadinanza aims to guarantee a monthly allowance to integrate the incomes of families with limited economic resource. Despite the media emphasis that accompanied the provision, the reform has many limitations. The present contribution analyzes the intersection of the Italian discipline with those of other European Member States.
