This essay presents data that support the hypothesis according to which some sections of the Italian territory are especially immune to deviant phenomena, and in particular illegal environmental activities tied to eco-mafia. These geographical segments are characterized by a significant presence of political forces of local/independent inspiration, or otherwise connected to the expression of the specific territory. The areas that present this «territorial vocation» seem to express a particularly defensive inclination. The general tendency to vote for local political parties appears to be systematically inversely correlated with the incidence of environmental crimes
