The right to food, although not explicitly foreseen in the Italian Constitution, receives an undoubted coverage from principles such as the person-based and the labourist; in fact, it is a right that touches the "irreducible nucleus of the human person", as has been clarified by the Constitutional Court itself in the sentence nr. 10/2010. In this paper, then, is analyzed what is entailed by the duty of the Republic with respect to the right in question. In particular, that duty implies a commitment by the public authorities as to ensure the right to food (with instruments such as the "vital minimum"), but also to protect it. In this last respect, it opens up the important and present protection of food di-versity, a concept that finds an undoubted constitutional (from the fundamental principles, such as Articles. 2, 5, 9, to the second part of the Constitution, Articles 114 and 118) and legislative cover. Is interesting, therefore, the analysis, as much, de iure condito, of the legisla-tion that State and Regions are producing to protect food diversity, as, de iure condendo, of the principles that the various bodies of the Republic will have to fol-low for the valorisation of heritage identity of food and territory.
Keywords: The Right to Food, Food Diversity, Laborist Constitution, Duty, Hu-man capital.
