  • Gioia Tauro, Italy - 1 September, 2012: Unfinished tombs are seen here in the cemetery of Gioia Tauro, a mafia strongold in Calabria,  Italy, on September 1st, 2012. The unfinished concrete buildings, which are very common throughout Calabria, are the result of the inability to go beyond the merely useful, creating functionality without regard for form.<br />
<br />
<br />
The current mayor of Gioia Tauro, Renato Bellofiore, was elected in 2010 after the former mayor and deputy mayor, Giorgio Dal Torrione and Rosario Schiavone, were arrested on Mafia charges in 2008. Both had been forced to step down when the city council was dissolved on suspicion of Mafia infiltration. Gioia Tauro is a city of 19,000 people built on an ancient Greek necrapolis and that today has the largest seaport in Italy and the sevent largest container port in Europe with its extension of 4,646 meters. Because the port is not connected to adeguate roads or rails, the ships mostly transfer containers to smaller vessels and little economic activity stays local. To authorities, the port is best known as the first point of entry for most of the cocaine that enters Europe from South America. In a routine rais earlier this month, authorities seized 176 kilos of pure cocaine with an estimated street value of 38 million euros.<br />
<br />
Calabria is one of the poorest Italian regions which suffers from lack of basic services (hospitals without proper equipment, irregular electricity and water), the product of disparate political interests vying for power. The region is dominated by the 'Ndrangheta (pronounced en-Drang-get-A), which authorities say is the most powerful in Italy because it is the welthiest and best organized.<br />
<br />
The region today has nearly 20 percent unemployment, 40 percent youth unemployment and among the lowest female unemployment and broadband Internet levels in Italy. Business suffer since poor infrastructure drives up transport costs.<br />

  • NAPLES, ITALY - 9 NOVEMBER 2018: Unemployed citizens register to the Eastern Naples Job Center in Naples, Italy, on November 9th 2018.<br />
<br />
Italy’s 550 state-run job centers will be in charge of verifying that recipients of the “citizens’ wage”, a welfare policy championed by the governing 5-Star Movement designed to lift 5 million Italian out of poverty, meet an important eligibility criteria: that they are actively looking for a job.<br />
But Italians widely regard the centers as being blighted by obsolete technology and insufficient and under-qualified staff. The new populist government plans to spend 1 billion euros to modernize the centers — 10 percent of the total cost of the new policy in its first year in 2019. <br />
<br />
The “citizens’ wage” will cost 10 billion euros next year, the most expensive item in a big-spending budget which itself has raised concerns in the European Union that Italy could be sowing the seeds of a financial crisis.

  • Polsi, Italy - 2 September, 2012: Pilgrims and a local band waits for the end of the mass by the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Polsi to  start the religious procession in Polsi, a mafia stronghold in Calabria, Italy, on September 2nd, 2012. <br />
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Polsi, also known as the Sanctuary of Santa Maria di Polsi or Our lady of the Mountain, is a Christian sanctuary in the heart of the Aspromonte mountains, near San Luca in Calabria. The chiefs of the Calabrian criminal consortium, the 'Ndrangheta, have held annual meetings at the Sanctuary. According to the pentito Cesare Polifroni – a former member turned state witness – at these meetings, every boss must give account of all the activities carried out during the year and of all the most important facts taking place in his territory such as kidnappings, homicides, etc.<br />

  • OTTAVIANO, ITALY - 25 JULY 2019: Workers are seen here processing flexible polyurethan foaminge and producing rear seat paddings for Fiat Panda, at Adler Group in Ottaviano, Italy, on July 25th 2019.<br />
<br />
Adler-Pelzer Group is an Italian manufacturing Group, and a worldwide leader in the design, development and manufacturing of components and systems for the transportation industry. Founded in 1956 in Ottaviano (Naples), today is the largest producer in Italy and the second in the world of systems for acoustic, thermal comfort and interior design for vehicles in the automotive, aerospace and railway industries. <br />
<br />
Italian manufacturer Adler-Pelzer Group had secured an order worth 2.6 million euros to make parts for military aircraft.That spelled 250 new jobs at its factory outside Naples, the heart of perpetually struggling southern Italy.<br />
“It was a great opportunity,” says Adler-Pelzer Group chairman Paolo Scudieri.<br />
But early this year, alarmed by the intensifying political chaos gripping Italy, Mr. Scudieri’s company shifted the order to a factory in Poland. He was disturbed by what he portrays as the anti-business proclivities of the populists suddenly running the country. He was concerned by the government’s collision with the European Union over its spending plans.<br />

<br />
Italian companies are deferring expansions and limiting investment rather than risking cash in a time of uncertainty. The public debt remains monumental, running at more than 2 trillion euro ($2.24 trillion), or more than 130 percent of annual economic output. Banks are still stuffed with bad loans — albeit fewer than before — making them reluctant to lend. An economy that has not expanded over the past decade is this year widely expected to again produce no growth.

  • Rosarno, Italy - 31 August, 2012: Antonio Pioli, 62, the father of Fabrizio Pioli, a 38 years old man who was killed in February 2012 and whose body is still missing in  Rosano, Italy, a mafia stronghold on August 31, 2012. Fabrizio Pioli was apparently killed by the family of Simona Napoli, the married woman who Fabrizio had an affair with and whose father is a fugitive mafia boss.<br />
<br />
Rosarno is an agricultural area best known for the violent race riots that erupted here in January 2010. and for being a hotbed of the 'Ndrangheta, a Mafia-type criminal organisation based in Calabria. The local 'Ndrangheta dominates the fruit and vegetable businesses in the area, according to Francesco Forgione, a former head of Italy's parliamentary Antimafia Commission. In December 2008, the entire town council was dissolved on orders from the central government and replaced by a prefectoral commissioner because it had been infiltrated by 'Ndrangheta members and their known associates.<br />

  • OTTAVIANO, ITALY - 25 JULY 2019: Paolo Scudieri, a member of the board of Confindustria, Italy’s most powerful business association, and chairman of the Adler-Pelzer Group, poses for a portrait at the Adler-Group offices in Ottaviano, Italy, on July 25th 2019.<br />
<br />
Adler-Pelzer Group is an Italian manufacturing Group, and a worldwide leader in the design, development and manufacturing of components and systems for the transportation industry. Founded in 1956 in Ottaviano (Naples), today is the largest producer in Italy and the second in the world of systems for acoustic, thermal comfort and interior design for vehicles in the automotive, aerospace and railway industries. <br />
<br />
Italian manufacturer Adler-Pelzer Group had secured an order worth 2.6 million euros to make parts for military aircraft.That spelled 250 new jobs at its factory outside Naples, the heart of perpetually struggling southern Italy.<br />
“It was a great opportunity,” says Adler-Pelzer Group chairman Paolo Scudieri.<br />
But early this year, alarmed by the intensifying political chaos gripping Italy, Mr. Scudieri’s company shifted the order to a factory in Poland. He was disturbed by what he portrays as the anti-business proclivities of the populists suddenly running the country. He was concerned by the government’s collision with the European Union over its spending plans.<br />
<br />
<br />
Italian companies are deferring expansions and limiting investment rather than risking cash in a time of uncertainty. The public debt remains monumental, running at more than 2 trillion euro ($2.24 trillion), or more than 130 percent of annual economic output. Banks are still stuffed with bad loans — albeit fewer than before — making them reluctant to lend. An economy that has not expanded over the past decade is this year widely expected to again produce no growth.

<br />
Italy’s 550 state-run job centers will be in charge of verifying that recipients of the “citizens’ wage”, a welfare policy championed by the governing 5-Star Movement designed to lift 5 million Italian out of poverty, meet an important eligibility criteria: that they are actively looking for a job.<br />
But Italians widely regard the centers as being blighted by obsolete technology and insufficient and under-qualified staff. The new populist government plans to spend 1 billion euros to modernize the centers — 10 percent of the total cost of the new policy in its first year in 2019. <br />
<br />
The “citizens’ wage” will cost 10 billion euros next year, the most expensive item in a big-spending budget which itself has raised concerns in the European Union that Italy could be sowing the seeds of a financial crisis.
