(57) A guiding device for two parts (31,32) which can move with respect to each other in opposite directions, particularly for pieces of furniture or the like, the device comprising at least one guiding profiled element (1) which supports, so that they can slide along its longitudinal extension, at least two sliding blocks (2,3) which are associable with one moving part (31) and with the other moving part (32) respectively. Each one of the two sliding blocks (2,3) is connected to a rack (4,5) which is slidingly accommodated in a longitudinal seat formed in the guiding profiled element (1). A pinion (8) is supported, so that it can rotate about its own axis, in an intermediate region of the guiding profiled element and meshes, by means of two diametrically mutually opposite regions, with the racks (4,5) connected to the sliding blocks (2,3).
