| description | The property confiscated from organised crime is the outcome of a particular communing process. Italian law provides for a primary compensatory function, implemented 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 constitute 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 specific focus on the various phases of the interventions. It is not just a question of a mere change of legal status or intended use but of a profound reorganisation of the architectural, material, technological, environmental, and managerial characteristics. This is consequent and consistent with the interweaving of legal, social, cultural and environmental aspects triggered by confiscation.
