    The author proves an existence result for minimizers of the functional of classical Calculus of Variations, without any convexity assumption on the Lagrangian function. As a consequence it is also proved the existence of solutions for the Dirichlet problem for a certain differential inclusion being a generalization of the Euler-Lagrange equation of the functional involved.
