1st edition of the Salone della Giustizia show

The Salone della Giustizia show, inaugurated by the Speaker of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, Mr. Gianfranco Fini, “is the first of its kind, not just in Europe, but worldwide, and will become a significant meeting place and forum for the public and for the justice administration system stakeholders, which include politicians and magistrates, the legal profession and law enforcement authorities, members of the free professions, businesses and the media, where they can freely and publicly discuss and exchange ideas, projects, problems and initiatives.”

 
AlmavivA will be presenting its projects at the stand of the Ministry of Justice, which comprise the digitization of the judicial proceedings relating to the Piazza Fontana bombing and the Identity and Access Management – IAM system, for ensuring safe access to the information systems of the justice administration.
 
Forty years on from the tragic events of 12 December 1969, the Ministry of Justice has launched, in partnership with AlmavivA, an enormously significant historical and cultural project, aimed at preserving and digitizing the immense amount of judicial records relating to the Piazza Fontana bombing. The judicial records are related to a single proceeding and comprise hundreds of folders containing the results of four investigations, and the ensuing first degree and appeal trials and the Court of Cassation hearings, up to the final judgment issued in May 2005.
 
All the records are on paper, most of them consist of fading typewritten documents. The relevant indexes are often partial and the folders – each one of which contains hundreds of pages – are often lacking a contents page: the records, which total about 500,000 pages, were stored in the archives of the Court of Catanzaro, and were about to become totally useless.
 
AlmavivA has digitized the documents, an operation that required a great deal of care, from all points of view, so that the records of the proceedings can now be accessed by whoever wants to read or study them (history departments, research institutions, contemporary history or law scholars and students, etc.). The Salone della Giustizia was the right occasion to provide a first-hand and in-depth view of AlmavivA’s work and of the film documentary, by Antonio Farina, which provides a reconstruction of the salient moments of this distressing and obscure episode in Italy’s recent history, with library pictures and footage and interviews from 1969 till today.
 
The need to ensure secure access to the information systems of the judicial administration springs from the criticality and sensitivity of judicial data and records, and from the organizational and regulatory complexity of the justice administration system. However, there is also the need to share and transfer information between the justice administration departments and offices, in order to create a reliable IT and cooperation support platform. One of the key countermeasures for effectively contrasting any unauthorized access attempts, to the Information System and the data stored there, is the development of a centralized Identity and Access Management – IAM system, for managing the users and authorization profiles (organizational safety), plus the control of the logical access to the resources (logical security) of the Information System. The IAM system, developed by AlmavivA within the scope of the Public Connectivity System (SPC), is a set of processes, policies and procedures aimed at ensuring the achievement of these objectives.
 
The system integrates the Multiservice Smartcard distributed by the Justice Ministry to its staff and to magistrates, to enhance the protection of the sensitive data processed in the judicial administration offices, and to develop a safe system for accessing both the administration’s information services (general registers for criminal and civil proceedings, investigation databases, etc.), and the centralized databases, such as the judicial records database (casellario giudiziale).
