Dai valori alle leggi. Le trasformazioni del diritto dello sport in Italia a confronto con la Ley 5/2016 de 19 de julio

After a brief overview of the development of the Italian legislation on Sport, two important theoretical issues are highlighted: one being in particular the peculiar role of judicial decisions for the development of legal reforms, and the other, connected with the first one, is about the persistence of a highly respected theoretical point of view about the sport legal system as autonomous and, in principle, independent from the State. This general reconstruction seems to have been acknowledged by the general statal law and by an important decision of the Italian Constitutional Court. Since the core of both those questions is axiological, I focus on this to trace a synthetic comparison with the new Andalusian Law which is centered on a strong and systematical core of sport values and thus could be a point of reference for a modern legislation endorsing a more integrated approach.
