Digital technologies are ever more encapsulated in a wide range of social domains and are significantly affecting labour. In this contribute, the author investigates the platform labour and the weakening of the wage-earning society in the context of Bologna city of food. In fact, it possible to outline continuities between the precar-ious working conditions of the latter and the platform economy embedding. Yet, Bologna is one of the main nodes in Europe regarding the experimentation of mu-nicipal regulation of platform economy. In fact, the "Chart of rights digital work-ers in the urban context" represent the first urban normative tools in Europe which establish, although with no direct regulatory power, a minimum labor right base for digital workers. The author adopts a qualitative methodology, by using in-depth interviews to high qualified witness. Finally, the author introduces a new concept useful to capture the tension between diverging ideas on digital platforms and the capabilities to govern them: "digitarchy".
