The recent and conspicuous modifications of the economic and social reality put scholars more and more radical questions on the actual role and, most of all, on the future of the individualcontract of employment. However, while work is still changing un-der the push of a storical and social process that is still unarrested, it is not jet olear which statutory and conceptual regulation may help or aim such a change. The Italian case shows that the return to the individual autonomy during the employment relation nei-ther involves an untimely death of the labour low nor a Loss of íts autonomy. It only means the revaluation of a true contractual pro-spective, both collective and individual.
It is possible to suppose that in the future, the labour law may be concentrated more on general occupational problems than on the individual contracts' guarantees. Probabily, the individualiza-tion of the work contracts will grow in a short time, but it doesn't mean a removal from the collective bargaining process about the formation of the contractual conditions. It's unrealistic to think that the individual employment contracts will develop to a trade-union derecognition process: the modernization of the human re-sorces management in this country will be possíble only if joíntly promoted by social parties.
