Il saggio, con aggiornamenti e riferimenti bibliografici, riprende un intervento al seminario Quale smartworking per il lavoro pubblico?, organizzato dalla Cgil il 27 maggio 2020. E’ destinato agli Studi in onore di Alessando Garilli.

The article analyses the character and legal form of teleworking/homeworking, which has been strongly supported in Italian public administration during the coronavirus pandemic. By showing a functional multiplication and various distortions, the author proposes a streamline of the legislation based on a more accurate distinction between teleworking, “smart” teleworking and emergency teleworking.
