Abstract
The Milan model: from the removal to the antimafia capital. The denial of the mafia phenomenon outside its original contexts of settlement has ancient roots and only recently there has been a wider awareness of the ramifications in the rest of Italy and Europe of the main Italian mafia organizations. From this point of view, the case of the city of Milan appears paradigmatic, which, despite a long history of the presence of organized crime mafia since to the fifties of the twentieth century, for decades has seen from its institutions, primarily the municipal administration, an extreme negationism of the problem, except in recent years when it has assumed a leading role in countering the various forms of mafia crime, also recognized by the decision of the Ministry of Justice to choose the city as a place of the General States of the Mafia Fight. The aim of this article is to retrace the steps that have led the city of Milan from denial to the leading role in contrasting and spreading awareness of the problem of the mafias, with an in-depth analysis of the various initiatives that have blossomed around the city institution that represent the anti-mafia network which makes Milan a virtuous model of interdependence in the fight against the mafia.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
