Both in quantity and quality the problem of Southern Italy, the Mezzogiorno, differs from that of any other less developed region of a Western European country. The Mezzogiorno covers more than 40 percent of the national territory and contains roughly a third of Italy's population.1 The difference between average levels of per capita income between South and North is still substantial, the level of unemployment is higher in the South, the quality of public administration and of public services is generally lower. The persistence of criminal organizations like the Mafia and the Camorra, high level of juvenile delinquency etc. are indications of social distress in the South
