The essay aims to deepen some aspects related to the process of industrialization in Basilicata by framing them within the strategies outlined by the controversial figure of Michele Sindona. The study starts from the reconstruction of Sindona’s climb in America and his relations within both the financial and political system in the United States. Then the focus moves toward the so-called Ronson affaire treated in the light of the crisis that Sindona was dealing with at the beginning of the 1970s. Such an episode reveals largely unexplored links with the speculative movements in which Sindona and other «grey figures» of the Italian financial scene at that time were involved in Basilicata.

Abstract
The essay aims to deepen some aspects related to the process of industrialization in Basilicata by framing them within the strategies outlined by the controversial figure of Michele Sindona. The study starts from the reconstruction of Sindona’s climb in America and his relations within both the financial and political system in the United States. Then the focus moves toward the so-called Ronson affaire treated in the light of the crisis that Sindona was dealing with at the beginning of the 1970s. Such an episode reveals largely unexplored links with the speculative movements in which Sindona and other «grey figures» of the Italian financial scene at that time were involved in Basilicata.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
