A background verification has allowed the initial construction of the planning idea: more and more many minors and young people have involved, used in the circuits of the organized crime and in the mafias of the various Countries, as “operators” with full rights in illegitimate activity that asks for answers of contrast, guardianship and protection. Each Project is delineated and articulates in a team of job, in objective, activity and products that allow to organize a job of search, analysis and of cooperation. The team of job has involved various organizations and professionals of some European Countries and extra-european: in Italy the “Istituto Don Calabria”, applicant of the Project, the “Scuola di Formazione del Personale per i Minorenni di Messina – Dipartimento per la Giustizia Minorile del Ministero della Giustizia”, the “Istituto Psicoanalitico di Ricerca Sociale (IPRS)” di Roma, the “Associazione Apriti Cuore di Palermo”, the “ Istituto per il Rinascimento Siciliano di Palermo”, the “Settore Servizi Sociali del Comune di Verona”, the “Christlichen Jugenddorfwerk Deutschlands (CJD)” – Eutin , in Germany; ; in Spain, the “Grupo Inter Disciplinar (GID)” in Madrid; “Fundatja S. Ioan Calabria” of Racaciuni in Rumania; the “Institute for Policy and Legal Studies” of Tirana, Albania; the “Pontificia Università Javeriana” of Bogotà, Colombia. Objectives: the first one consists in the realization of a general photo of the phenomenon of the involvement of the teen-agers in the mafias and in the organized crime: in the mafia of the south Italy, in the organizations that manage the clandestine immigration of the not accompanied young persons, like Rumanian, Albanian, Moroccan, Slavic in the regions of the north; the matter of the Russian outsiderses inserted in the criminal activities in Germany; the use of the autochtonous minors and foreigners in the criminal activities connected to the commerce of the drug in Spain and in Colombia; the manners of involvement in the illegitimate activities in Romania and Albania, point of transit for many minors destined to criminal careers in Europe. The second objective, that more meaningful, consists in the constitution and activation of a first net of collaborations and exchanges between organizations and professionals, necessary net for an operational reference for the search to level of the single Countries and for further developments in activity of European cooperation. The job of analysis and comparison has allowed besides the production of single reports spread to national level and the publication of the present conclusive dossier. A hope is alive at the end of the Project: to have worked for developing greater awareness of the specific phenomenon and to offer a contribution that the various initiatives of search sustain of guardianship and of the young persons' protection involved in the mafias in the European Countries. This final Report was arranged by the Project manager Dr Alessandro Padovani and by the Project Coordinator Dr Silvio Masin. - 6 - Chapter 1 Mafia, minors and law enforcement in Italy Silvio Ciappi and Raffaele Bracalenti Introduction The Italians call them 'baby killers' - not because they kill babies, but because they are trained to kill while they are still legally minors, and therefore cannot be punished as adults. Seventeen year old Vincenzo Trubia from Gela - a Mafia-dominated town in the Southeast corner of Sicily - has admitted to Police that he is a trained Mafia hitman. He has been carrying a gun since his uncle gave him one for his eleventh birthday, he told prosecutors. Vincenzo is now under police protection somewhere in Italy, one of more than 4,000 former Mafia criminals who are taking part in a huge government-run witness protection programme. Giovanni Tinebra, chief prosecutor at Caltanisetta in central Sicily, raised the alarm when he gave details of the 'school' near Gela for teenage killers. Pupils at the 'school', he said, are taught to shoot, strip down pistols, and become expert moped and scooter riders to enable them to take part in hit and run attacks on designated individuals. "At 11 or 12 they are taken into the countryside to learn to shoot. They are given a mission to kill - which they are unfortunately able to carry out with great skill. The 'school' run by the Mafia is an alternative to ordinary compulsory schooling for many Sicilian children." Vincenzo became one of Italy's youngest official turncoats during police investigations into a series of Mafia murders in Gela last July. Four people were shot dead - the latest in a series of family vendetta killings that have been going on for years. Vincenzo was employed as a lookout, he did not actually take part in these killings, but he was part of the scene and got scared. The use of child killers by the mafia is not new. What has shocked Italian public opinion is the extent of the phenomenon, and the brazen attitudes of Mafia bosses towards the exploitation of children as accomplices to adults in crime, as confirmed by law enforcement officers. Caterina Chinnici is in charge of the office for the prosecution of minors in Caltanisetta. "If someone kills his father in Verona or a wealthy jeweller in Milan (in Northern Italy) the Italian State mobilises," she says. "If the baby-killers shoot in Gela, as they have been doing for 10 years now, nothing happens." "There are only three specialist social workers dealing with child criminals in Gela, they are competent and scrupulous, but too thin on the ground," she added.

  • Italian: Repubblica Italiana),[7][8][9][10] Is a Unitary Parliamentary Republic Insouthern Europe
    Italy ( i/ˈɪtəli/; Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja]), officially the Italian Republic (Italian: Repubblica italiana),[7][8][9][10] is a unitary parliamentary republic inSouthern Europe. Italy covers an area of 301,338 km2 (116,347 sq mi) and has a largely temperate climate; due to its shape, it is often referred to in Italy as lo Stivale (the Boot).[11][12] With 61 million inhabitants, it is the 5th most populous country in Europe. Italy is a very highly developed country[13]and has the third largest economy in the Eurozone and the eighth-largest in the world.[14] Since ancient times, Etruscan, Magna Graecia and other cultures have flourished in the territory of present-day Italy, being eventually absorbed byRome, that has for centuries remained the leading political and religious centre of Western civilisation, capital of the Roman Empire and Christianity. During the Dark Ages, the Italian Peninsula faced calamitous invasions by barbarian tribes, but beginning around the 11th century, numerous Italian city-states rose to great prosperity through shipping, commerce and banking (indeed, modern capitalism has its roots in Medieval Italy).[15] Especially duringThe Renaissance, Italian culture thrived, producing scholars, artists, and polymaths such as Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Michelangelo and Machiavelli. Italian explorers such as Polo, Columbus, Vespucci, and Verrazzano discovered new routes to the Far East and the New World, helping to usher in the European Age of Discovery. Nevertheless, Italy would remain fragmented into many warring states for the rest of the Middle Ages, subsequently falling prey to larger European powers such as France, Spain, and later Austria.

The principles of liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law are inherent to the European integration process. Table Of Contents Subtitle Introduction Key Points Background Issues: Committee of Governance ­ Cristian Sarmiento ​ Committee of Cross Border Issues ­ Braxton Dixon ​ Committee of Economics ­ Montel Phillip ​ Committee of Security Valeria Do Vale ​ Committee of Migration ­ Kenneth Ng ​ Committee of Identity and Integration ­ DeShawna Green ​ Committee of Foreign Policy ­ Braxton Dixon ​ Conclusion: Points of Emphasis Works In Integration Introduction Italy has multiple issues that they have to deal with and endure. It’s the responsibility of the other member states to assist us as a fellow member of the European Union. The problems 2 present in Italy aren’t representative of the European Union as a whole organization. These issues will need to be fixed. The only way this can happen is if we come together and solve them. These problems consist of money issues, a lack of security, extensive immigrants, government, and integration of people. The people of Italy are suffering because of their bad economic state. The government running Italy is in debt. And since there is a lot of people, growth in population is bad. This means less money for each person. And citizens are losing opportunities because of the people entering the country.

For most people those figures conjure up two words: The Mafia. But while Sicily’s Cosa Nostra continue to be highly influential, the country’s biggest organised crime group is actually based elsewhere – Calabria. Known as the ‘Ndrangheta, it has surpassed Cosa Nostra the most powerful criminal group in the world. Tobias Jones , the award-winning author and Italian resident takes us on a journey through the region speaking with politicians, businesses, investigative journalists, ordinary Italians as well as former criminals, priests and prosecutors. We will also visit Naples, Italy’s third largest city, home to another criminal clan, the Camorra. Our aim is to expose the truth as well as the many myths surrounding the groups that continue to hold such a large grip on Italian society.

  • Athens and Rome Contrasted: the Present Challenge of Managing Two Manners of Classicism
    74 A. Loukaki УДК: 711.523:904, 719 ББК: 85.110 А43 DOI: 10.18688/aa200-1-6 A. Loukaki Athens and Rome Contrasted: The Present Challenge of Managing Two Manners of Classicism Managing the past: Between the prosaic and the sublime Athens and Rome are the two preeminent classical cities globally1. Their heritages, universal canons, have been steady sources of Western, national, and collective memory, inspiration2, aesthetics and myth for centuries now. Astonishingly, very little, if anything at all, was comparatively written on the management of their central archaeological domains before a recent publication of this author which informs the analysis here [18]. Therefore, the main contribution of the present article is the original comparison of the classicism of Athens and Rome, seen from an aesthetic and urban design point of view, with emphasis on the physical, metaphysical, urban design, aesthetic and moral aspects of the management of their central archaeological loci, in conjunction with the differences between classical Greek and Roman classicism. The Sacred Rock of the Athenian Acropolis (Fig. 1, Fig. 2), as it is fondly called by the Greeks, is the epitome of democracy, classical beauty, urban constitution, and national struggles for the establishment of the Greek State. The Roman Forum (Fig. 3), together with the adjacent Colosseum, represents imperial power, structural prowess and prominent urbanism. Enduring through tests of time, iconic classical ruins stage modern urban action, real and symbolic; recapitulate cities as syntactic urban permanences, thereby constantly launching issues of monumentality prioritization3; trigger new creativity and loom in struggles over civic and national representation.
