Giovani e capitale sociale: gli orizzonti della religiosità

This paper aims to study the relationship between religion and social capital considering young people living in Naples. The article discusses how the combination of different levels of social capital and religiosity can help us to identify profiles (or types) of religiosity. To accomplish this goal techniques of multivariate analysis were carried out. The results compare the level of conceptualization and the level of religious practices detected in the profiles, allowing to highlight the continuity and discontinuity in practices, identification and positioning of the young people in the local sample with respect to religion.
