Torre Annunziata research explores repurposing confiscated Camorra assets

A new research volume titled “Damnatio memoriae. Ricerca e progetti sui beni confiscati nel Comune di Torre Annunziata,” edited by Mario Galterisi, aims to transform properties seized from organized crime into community resources. The project, conducted by the Department of Architecture at the University of Naples Federico II in collaboration with Agrorinasce and the local administration, seeks to find ways to reintegrate these buildings into the urban fabric.

The goal is to provide these assets with new public, social, or economic functions that meet the needs of the community. The research findings will be presented at an event in Torre Annunziata featuring institutional representatives, including the Prefect of Naples, Michele Di Bari, and various legal and architectural experts.
