This work aims to investigate the ways in which stigma has operated within a circumscribed territorial context, the Rione Sanità in Naples. In particular, it takes as an example two cases in which territorial stigmatisation has played a determining role. In the first, as violence suffered by the neighbourhood. In the second, as a device to reconstruct from below a new narrative to counteract the stigmatising one. The study was conducted through the use of mixed methods, combining semistructured interviews with the quantitative analysis of newspaper articles.

Keywords: territorial stigmatisation; Naples; Covid; advanced marginality; neighbourhood.
