Le linee ferroviarie: il ri-uso di un anti-common per la rigenerazione territoriale

The railways: reuse of anticommons for territorial regeneration. The paper aim to reflect about the many Italian disused railways, which represent a common good in all respects, whose re-use could trigger a virtuous cycle of territorial regeneration. In some circumstances, however, because of indeterminacy of the regulatory framework characterizing the ownership and management of the Italian railway network, this common becomes an anticommon, generating a situation of under-utilization of the resource itself. Once passed organizational and coordination deadlocks, the "railroad" can represent a territorial regeneration factor, but only if its management will be an asset of the local community.
