After years of work, interrupted by plateaus of political pondering, the 2002 Budget Law (Art. 103) has finally officialized the inclusion of specialist teachers for the subject of Physical Education. That is, after the Italian Senate Bill S 992/2020, which mandated the introduction of specialist teachers to guarantee «a real and qualified teaching for children through interventions that are adequate and targeted in terms of motor development, but also to impact learning, prevention, and socialization» (D’Elia, 2022, p. 82).
