ABSTRACT
The article analyzes the respective roles of the State and Regions and their relations in the adoption of measures to deal with the pandemic emergency. In particular, the article highlights how the State, in order to contain the pandemic, has adopted, through the so-called emergency legislation, a centralization of competencies without the provision of adequate collaboration tools with the Regions. It is therefore observed how this legislation, in addition to being in conflict with the model of cooperative regionalism outlined by the 2001 reform, has often led, especially in the first phase of the health crisis, to episodes of conflict between State and Regional bodies. The article also notes that these conflicts were partially overcome, subsequently, thanks to the Government’s willingness to recognize a greater monitoring and intervention role to the Regions, on the one hand, and to coordinate with them, on the other hand;coordination aimed at adopting shared solutions (as for the decisions relating to the vaccination campaign and the green pass). Furthermore, the decision n. 37 of 2021 of Constitutional Court, by recognizing the exclusive State competence to adopt measures to combat the pandemic, opens a new phase in the definition of the roles of the levels of government and respect to their relations. The article, therefore, aims to analyze the trends related to relations between the State and the Regions that emerged during the pandemic emergency;this mainly in order to evaluate the appropriateness of some choices with respect to the constitutional model of the Regional State. © 2022, Societa Editoriale Federalismi s.r.l..

ABSTRACT
Objectives: to assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemicon parenting in families with pediatric age childrenand examine how parental burnout can be influenced by the presence of one or more children with certified diagnosis of full-blown physical or psychological-psychiatric pathology. Methods: the sample consisted of 970 parents with pediatric age children who were administered a questionnaire on parental burnout. Results: mothers have a higher level of burnout. A significant main effect emerged with respect to the parents’ work: manual workers have higher burnout levels during quarantine. The presence of children with a certified diagnosis is a predictor of parental burnout. Conclusions: the primary pediatrician should care of potentially risky situations that undermine children mental and physical health, especially by supervising the decline of parental care both in families with cases of manifest pathology and in those in good health conditions. © 2021, Associazione Culturale Pediatri.
