In I Malacarni. Come le mafie sono diventate globali (Gambini), Paola La Salvia takes the reader inside the transformation of the mafias from a local phenomenon into a global, invisible, and far-reaching power, capable of infiltrating markets, finance, and legitimate economies. The essay reconstructs how mafia organizations have managed to evolve, adapt, and thrive in an interconnected world. Through international networks, technological innovation, and new economic strategies, a portrait emerges of a silent yet pervasive power, stronger than ever. A book that offers tools for understanding a phenomenon that is now increasingly entrenched and widespread, while calling for a collective response grounded in legality and awareness.
The event is introduced by Maria Teresa Collica, Director of the Center for Mafia Studies at the University of Messina.
