Le società a capitale misto pubblico-privato

The paper focuses on two problematic profiles concerning public-private joint-stock companies. The first relates to the mechanisms that, in the specific type of company chosen, must be adopted to ensure the division of the roles assigned by law to the two types of partners: internal control over the management of the enterprise, to the public partner; the actual performance of the enterprise, to the private partner. The second relates to the ways through which, again in the specific type of company chosen, the said division of roles can be preserved, given that any change in it could lead to the metamorphosis of the public-private partnership that culminated in the joint enterprise.
