CONCLUSIONS Statal commitment increased in order to develop a
backward framework.
However, like in France, Italian state did not considerthe differences among regions respect the rate ofdevelopment.
State development pattern changed vocationaleducation almost in a generalist – school.
OUTCOMES This paper has demonstrated that is useful to link the
study of a country to the other European countries.
