The paper presents the results of a survey to explore local elite attitudes towards legality across Italian regions. Specifically, it focuses on the concept of neopatrimonialism as a means for analysing empirical evidence concerning perceived diffuse illegal practices entailing personal use of public and private administration resources in order to gain particularistic advantage. The distinction between crimes and norms manipulation permits the identification of similarities and differences across Italian regions, since they differ from each other in terms of intensity of phenomena. The emerging attitudinal dynamics, concerning high expectations of widespread illegal practices, raise issues about their influence undermining incremental and durable changes in terms of more legal and responsible institutions. Furthermore neopatrimonialism seems strengthened by difficulties in identifying common institutional actions contesting illegal practices and a diminished sense of trust in the effectiveness of individual action
