Putnam, in his book "Bowling Alone" makes the argument that social capital is linked to the recent decline in American political participation. Putnam's theoretical framework has been firstly applied to the South of Italy (Putnam, 1993). This framework has been rediscussed by considering simultaneously the condition of European regions and specifically Southern Italy (Ferragina, 2012; Ferragina, 2013). Social capital has multiple definitions, interpretations, and uses. Thomas Sander defines it as "the collective value of all social networks (who people know), and the inclinations
