Urbanpromo promotes this first focus on a theme imbued with priority ethical and legal values, as well as social, economic and environmental, such as the social use of goods confiscated from the Mafia. The conference is opened by a general framework of the subject under the normative, dimensional, localized and typological, institutional. The peculiarities of the theme are then documented by the presentation of cases that are first of all a symbol of legality and that are characterized by the pursuit of economic and social ends of public utility thanks to original forms of asset management and public collaboration-private society.

There is a wide range of situations: Verbumcaudo, an ancient fief of the Madonie whose fields are now organically cultivated by a social cooperative, Villa Fernandes in Portici became a social and cultural center, the agricultural laboratory of Pietra di Scart in Foggia, the hostel of the social cooperative GOEL in Locride, all initiatives supported by the Foundation with the South, the Suvignano Estate in Monteroni d’Arbia with the intervention of the Tuscany Region,  the system of the social territorial area for the management in an associated form of property confiscated in the municipalities of Garda Bresciano, coordinated by Azienda Speciale Consortile Garda Sociale in network with third sector companies (initiative supported by Fondazione Cariplo)the recovery of a factory confiscated and destined for the headquarters of the Civil Protection in Brescello in the province of Reggio Emilia.
