The “Mare di Legalità” campaign is the main national project of the Italian Naval League for the two-year period 2024-25 and involves the use of vessels confiscated from organized crime, which have been entrusted by the judicial authority to the association for the performance of activities of public interest, aimed at educating the values of legality.
“Mare di Legalità” was born as a program containing initiatives that are transversal to the institutional tasks of the Italian Naval League, which concern the promotion of maritime culture, the approach to sport and nautical training for all, social inclusion and environmental protection, with particular attention to the involvement in the various associative activities of young people and people with disabilities or in conditions of socio-economic hardship.
The campaign’s inaugural event in Ostia bore witness to the different uses for the community of eight “boats of Legality”, which are associated with the memory and commitment of some victims of the mafia and terrorism.
Spyros, the boat rescued from the criminal world and entrusted to the Fiumicino LNI Section, was named after General Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, known for his commitment in the fight against the terrorism of the Red Brigades first and then the mafia, of which he would be a victim.
