The social reuse of confiscated goods. The criticality of the lombard model

Abstract

How the confiscated assets of the organized crime are managed in Lombardy? This article states that it is possible to theorize a Lombard model, which reflects the history of the relationships between Lombard culture and mafia phenomenon. The author notes, in fact, a cultural removal of the mafia's presence even after trials and State victory, and a substantial extraneousness of  Lombardy to the deepest sense of antimafia legislation and its challenges. In this context a particular management of assets wins, namely a model founded on the rent much more than on the social enterprise.
