Napoli’s Serie A Win: Regional and Multisectoral Economic Im
In 2023, the Napoli football club won its third ‘Serie A’ Italian championship after 33 years, prompting widespread celebrations at national and international levels. The process, from team preparation to championship success, was supported by the broader “football industry”. To quantify these effects, a Social Accounting Matrix and a Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium model were constructed and developed for Campania to estimate the direct, indirect, and induced impacts of Napoli’s Serie A win on the regional circular flow of income. During the championship year, the event resulted in a 1.84% increase in regional Gross Domestic Product, a 0.28% rise in the employment rate, and a 1.3% surge in household disposable income, leading to an improvement in regional welfare. Assessing the socioeconomic impacts of this event points to the potential for an acceleration in the growth trajectory of the city of Naples and the Campania region

Spatializing Trust: A GeoAI-Based Model for Mapping Digital Trust Ecosystems in Mediterranean Smart Regions
As digital transformation intensifies, the governance of spatial data infrastructures is becoming increasingly dependent on the capacity to generate and sustain trust—technological,
institutional and civic. This challenge is particularly acute in the Mediterranean region,
where disparities in how geospatial data are produced, accessed, and validated are created
by uneven digital development and fragmented governance structures. In response to
this, this paper introduces an integrated framework combining geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) and blockchain technologies to support transparent, verifiable and spatially
explicit models of digital trust. Based on case studies from the Horizon 2020 TRUST
project, the framework defines trust through territorial indicators across three dimensions:
digital infrastructure, institutional transparency, and civic engagement. The system uses
interpretable AI models, such as Random Forests, K-means clustering and convolutional
neural networks, to classify regions into trust typologies based on multi-source geospatial
data. These outputs are then transformed into semantically structured spatial products
and anchored to the Ethereum blockchain via smart contracts and decentralized storage
(IPFS), thereby ensuring data integrity, auditability and version control. Experimental
results from pilot regions in Italy, Greece, Spain and Israel demonstrate the effectiveness of
the framework in detecting spatial patterns of trust and producing interoperable, reusable
datasets. The findings highlight significant spatial asymmetries in digital trust across
the Mediterranean region, suggesting that trust is a measurable territorial condition, not
merely a normative ideal. By combining GeoAI with decentralized verification mechanisms,
the proposed approach helps to develop accountable, explainable and inclusive spatial
data infrastructures, which are essential for democratic digital governance in complex
regional environments
The Necessary Step: Cataloguing to recognise and enhance the value of school heritage
This book represents the conclusion of the first comprehensive research project conducted in Italy within the Italian Scientific Society dedicated to the study of historical-educational heritage (SEPSI) to promote the legal recognition of school heritage. The aim is to establish a base to future research in the field, providing the scientific community with tools for the safeguarding, protection, and enhancement of the historical school heritage.
There is much of value in historical educational materials conserved in schools, which may be at risk of dispersal due to their obsolescence. This edited collection illustrates the numerous creative and innovative methods through which teachers can use this heritage, not only for history teaching but for interdisciplinary educational purposes.
One of the most straightforward and sustainable methods is the cataloguing of these objects within the classroom, which can be employed as a learning methodology. To this end, a comparative analysis of existing cataloguing tools is conducted, to identify solutions and new sets of descriptors for the effective, simple, yet scholarly cataloguing of “obsolete” objects still in the possession of educational establishments. The aim is to demonstrate the effectiveness of what authors have defined as “pedagogical cataloguing”; an educational technique that can assist in the development of disciplinary and transferable competencies.
The book will be of value to educators, researchers, and academics engaged in the field of education sciences, as well as educational, government and administrative institutions
Iniziativa economica privata e utilità sociale
il capitolo è volto ad analizzare la libertà di iniziativa economica muovendo dal particolare statuto ad essa assegnato dalla Costituzione del 1948 e considerando gli sviluppi e le trasformazioni che ha conosciuto anche alla luce dell'integrazione europea e della recente riforma costituzionale dell'art. 41. Particolare attenzione è dedicata al limite dell'utilità sociale, clausola generale o principio-valvola, che ha avuto nel tempo molteplici declinazioni ed è più volte stato portato all'attenzione della Corte costituzional
