On May 8th 1999, Massimo D'Antona was the opening speaker at a conference held in Naples to mark the 50th anniversary of the Rivista Giuridica del Lavoro e della Previdenza Sociale. Twelve days later, he was assassinated with senseless violence by the Red Brigades. 

We are pleased to inaugurate the Working Paper series of the Research Centre dedicated to his memory with this last paper he presented in Naples.
