Secret Networks of The South: Decoding Camorra and ‘Ndrangheta 🕵️🌶️

Join Il Corno for an evening dedicated to uncovering the reality of the mafia in Southern Italy today, beyond myths and storytelling. All the way from Naples, Italy’s anti-mafia judges Elsie Clemente and Antonio Baldassarre will explain how the ‘Ndrangheta and the Camorra actually work as criminal organisations — and what it means to fight them in the present day. The talk runs from 5:30pm to 6:30pm in the heart of Oxford’s historic Covered Market, and there is a chance to put your own questions to the judges afterwards.

What to expect:

🕵️ An insider account of two mafia networks — Two serving anti-mafia judges from Naples break down how the Camorra and ‘Ndrangheta are structured, how they operate and how they sustain themselves

🗣️ Myths vs reality — A clear-eyed look at Southern Italy’s criminal organisations beyond film and folklore, and what the fight against them looks like today

❓ Your questions, answered — An open Q&A with Elsie Clemente and Antonio Baldassarre, in the relaxed surroundings of an independent Neapolitan panuozzo bar
