This article explores the phenomenon of Italian collective land structures, through a legal geography perspective. In particular, the existence of mountain communities that throughout centuries have produced their own juridical order, coexisting with that of the State and composed by socio-anthropological foundations, ancient practices and customs inspired by a communitarian and reicentrical model of society, highlights the legal-pluralist character of the sociopolitical Italian space. Therefore, the analysis connects the empirical peculiarities of these collective institutions to the concept of legal pluralism, in the attempt of evaluating their social, environmental and ethical positivities.

Keywords: ; legal geography, legal pluralism, collective land structures.
