The main objective of this paper is to highlight the impact of the recent law concerning social enterprises on Sicilian non-profit organizations. Several events have contributed to the increased importance of social enterprises as organizations able to play a fundamental role in the safeguard of social rights and reform of the welfare system. Social enterprises, particularly in the case of no-profit companies, represent an innovative model of enterprise that has recently been defined in the Italian legal system. This kind of enterprise is governed by the provisions contained in Legislative Decree N. 155 of 24/03/2006 and four ministerial implementation decrees issued on 2008. Starting from the definition of the principle of social benefit, non-profit and the owner- ship structure, this paper considers certain aspects of the Italian law passed as a result of increased awareness of the role of social enterprises. The analysis of these topics will be completed by some observations on the diffusion of the new concept of social enterprise in the Sicilian economy.

Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to highlight the impact of the recent law concerning social enterprises on Sicilian non-profit organizations. Several events have contributed to the increased importance of social enterprises as organizations able to play a fundamental role in the safeguard of social rights and reform of the welfare system. Social enterprises, particularly in the case of no-profit companies, represent an innovative model of enterprise that has recently been defined in the Italian legal system. This kind of enterprise is governed by the provisions contained in Legislative Decree N. 155 of 24/03/2006 and four ministerial implementation decrees issued on 2008. Starting from the definition of the principle of social benefit, non-profit and the owner- ship structure, this paper considers certain aspects of the Italian law passed as a result of increased awareness of the role of social enterprises. The analysis of these topics will be completed by some observations on the diffusion of the new concept of social enterprise in the Sicilian economy.Pubblicazioni consigliate
