Italy’s competition legal framework is mainly governed by Law No. 287 of 10 October 1990 (the Italian Competition Act), which applies in parallel with Articles 101 and 102 TFEU. Competition law is enforced by a single, independent authority, the Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (AGCM), which is responsible for antitrust enforcement, merger control, advocacy, and market studies at the national level.
