The Italian judicial system tends to provide victims of discrimination forms of compensation that almost always reinstate the previous status to discrimination without offering a fee for the damage suffered. Courts do not usually order any compensation, preferring other forms of satisfactions (like reinstating of the employee unlawfully discharged). The level of compensation set in consideration of the damage caused to the individual does not seem to be proportionate to the damage actually suffered.
