Gli immobili confiscati alla criminalità organizzata rappresentano una particolare modalità di commoning: la legislazione italiana prevede una precipua funzione restitutoria che si realizza nell’approdo finale della loro destinazione a usi collettivi, istituzionali o sociali. Nonostante le criticità gestionali proprie di tali beni, che prolungano l’iter di assegnazione, la forte valenza simbolica si arricchisce del significato di compensazione all’oppressione mafiosa che determinati territori subiscono. Tuttavia, tale risignificazione impone un’attenzione specifica sulle diverse fasi degli interventi che si proiettano sui beni confiscati. Infatti, non si tratta soltanto di un mero cambio di stato giuridico o di destinazione d’uso, ma di un profondo riassetto della consistenza architettonica, materica, tecnologica, ambientale e gestionale di questo segmento di ambiente costruito.

Abstract

The property confiscated from organised crime represents the outcome of a particular commoning: Italian law provides for a primary compensatory function, realized in the final destination of their use for collective, institutional, or social purposes. Despite the critical management issues which prolong the allocation process, the strong symbolic value is enriched by the significance of compensation for the mafia oppression that certain territories suffer. In addition, confiscated properties represent a potential resource for the territory from an economic point of view, capable of supporting job opportunities and enhancing useful services and activities for the community involved. The resignification of confiscated property requires a specific focus on the different phases of the interventions. It is not just a question of a mere change of legal status or intended use but of a profound reorganization of the architectural, material, technological, environmental, and managerial characteristics, which is consequent and consistent with the interweaving of legal, social cultural and environmental aspects triggered by the confiscation.
