The conference “The new faces of the mafias of Southern Italy and the dark side of the dark web” will be held on 19 November 2026 in the Council Chamber of the Casa Comunale of Sorrento, in Piazza S. Antonino. The meeting focuses on two fronts that often remain outside public discourse: how criminal organizations in Southern Italy are changing and how the dark web becomes an operational tool for the new mafias. Representatives of institutions, law enforcement and the Church, investigative journalists and family members of victims will discuss these issues. Andrea Santoro, president of AdAstra Campania, will introduce the event, and journalist Antonino Siniscalchi will moderate. The initiative is aimed in particular at students of Sorrento's schools, to offer an opportunity for direct discussion with those working on the front line of legality. The conference is organized by AdAstra Campania with the POLIS Campania foundation and the ESSE 85 cultural institute, with the moral patronage of the Municipality of Sorrento.
