Le molte facce di Gomorra - In the Editorial Renate Siebert explores the reasons for the extraordinary success of Roberto Saviano’s "no-fiction novel" Gomorra. Saviano’s narration emphasises the global and transnational developments of the camorra and underlines the economic and social aspects of a phenomenon that attracts substantial numbers of youth into a whirlpool of deaths and contaminates the daily life of all. Siebert broadens her approach to analyse the characteristics of another Italian mafia, the socalled ’ndrangheta of Calabria which, over the years, has become one of the most powerful criminal forces at the international level.
