In Italy the origin of the mandatory insurance against accidents at work and occupational diseases has been characterized by an intense debate that follows the subsequent evolution of this protection. Even today the relations between the mandatory insurance and the liability are subject to opposite opinions that cause many uncertainties on the interpretation and application of the relevant legislation; the uncertainties increased when under the framework of the civil liability new type of damages - not fully covered by the insurance - arose. Starting from an overview of the different positions of the debate, the text analyzes the many issues that make uncertain the relationship between the two protections, proposing a clear distinction that is consistent with their constitutional functions.
