       characterized in that:
 the connecting means ( 4 ) provides: at least a hooking member ( 5 ) shaped so as to limit a seat ( 9 ) having in cross section a substantially U shape wherein the connecting counter means ( 5 ) provided in each shelf can be inserted, 
 said counter means comprising at the angles of each shelf at least a first substantially filiform and vertical member ( 10 A), 
 said seat ( 9 ) of the hooking members ( 1 ,  2 ) is sized so as to allow inserting with friction said first filiform member ( 10  A) and so that a tract of said first member remains in contact with the inner surface of said seat when the shelf is connected to the supporting members, 
 and said counter means ( 5 ) providing a second member ( 15  A) apt to abut against a face of the supporting members ( 1 ,  2 ) when the shelves are associated to said members. 
 
     
     
         2 . The supporting system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the supporting members ( 1 ,  2 ) are sized so as to be inserted inside said shelves ( 3 ) when said system is disassembled so as to reduce the encumbrance of the system when it is disassembled. 
     
     
         3 . The supporting system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the shelves ( 3 ) can be stacked one into the other one so as to reduce the encumbrance of the system when it is disassembled. 
     
     
         4 . The supporting system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the connecting means ( 5 ) of the shelves provides in prefixed position uprights ( 12 ) of the two supporting members ( 1 ,  2 ), pairs of hooking members ( 5 ) spaced out therebetween by a tract (R) having a shorter length than that of the first member ( 10 A) apt to engage with said hooking members, each pair forming a seat ( 9 ) for inserting said first member ( 10 A). 
     
     
         5 . The supporting system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the hooking members ( 5 ) are the ends of a single metallic wire ( 33 ) constrained transversally to uprights ( 12 ) of each supporting member ( 1 ,  2 ) in prefixed positions and/or said hooking members project externally with respect to said uprights, so that the distance (D 1 ) between the ends of the hooking members is greater than that (D 3 ) between said uprights ( 12 ) and these can be inserted in the shelves ( 3 ) with said hooking members partially projecting from said shelves. 
     
     
         6 . The supporting system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the shelves ( 3 ) comprise a bottom wall ( 3  C) and only two side walls ( 3  D) parallel therebetween, departing and substantially perpendicular with respect to such bottom wall, said side walls being connected to said bottom wall so as to allow stacking a shelf onto the other one with the bottom walls of the various shelves one in contact to the other one, so as to reduce the encumbrance of the system when it is disassembled. 
     
     
         7 . The supporting system according to  claim 6 , characterized in that the shelves at the ends thereof without side walls provide an extremal transversal metallic wire ( 15 ) constrained to longitudinal wires ( 3 B) so that they do not project from said extremal wire ( 15 ) and that said first ( 10  A) and second ( 15  A) filiform members belong to said extremal transversal wire ( 15 ). 
     
     
         8 . The supporting system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said first ( 10  A) and second member ( 15  A) are implemented in a single filiform piece ( 15 ) and they are angled therebetween by about 90° and that said single piece ( 15 ) provides a connecting portion ( 15 B) of said first and second member, said portion forming with said second member an angle (A) lower than 90° so as to favour inserting said first member ( 10  A) in the seats ( 9 ) of the hooking members. 
     
     
         9 . The supporting system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the shelves ( 3 ) provide at the angled portion ( 10  A) and the upper edge thereof a third member ( 16 ) apt to abut onto the hooking members ( 5 ) so as to limit the possibility of inserting the shelf in said hooking members. 
     
     
         10 . The supporting system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the shelves ( 3 ) are shaped so as to be used in different use positions. 
     
     
         11 . The supporting system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the connecting means ( 4 ) provides a foil which provides the ends folded so as to form seats with U-shaped cross section. 
     
     
         12 . The supporting system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the supporting members ( 1 ,  2 ) are shaped like a plane wall ( 25 ) and/or that the hooking members are shaped like tubular members ( 24 ) having a longitudinal slot. 
     
     
         13 . The supporting system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the shelves ( 3 ) provide a plurality of transversal metallic wires ( 3  A) and longitudinal metallic wires ( 3 B) welded therebetween so as to implement a net-like structure.
