Lavialibera is a bimonthly magazine that offers news and insights on mafias, corruption, the environment, and migration. Lavialibera was founded in 2019 by two Italian associations, Libera and Gruppo Abele, both created by don Luigi Ciotti, and it inherits the thirty-year experience of the monthly magazine Narcomafie, founded in 1993 after the mafia massacres in Sicily. 

Lavialibera is a partner of Kompreno, the European startup that wants to make quality journalism accessible by removing language barriers.
