Abstract: Investighiamo il ruolo che la P2, nota loggia massonica clandestina italiana, ha avuto nelle vicende economiche del paese. Considerando tutte le imprese quotate sulla Borsa di Milano, analizziamo le interconnessioni fra le banche e le imprese infiltrate e non infiltrate dalla P2. I nostri risultati mostrano che nel periodo 1980-1981 le imprese infiltrate dalla P2 contavano la maggior parte delle connessioni e mostravano la centralità più elevata all'interno del network. A partire al 1982 si registra un generale ridimensionamento di queste imprese: si tratta di un evento coerente con l'impatto negativo derivante dalla scoperta della loggia P2 nel 1981. We investigate the rule that the P2, the well-known Italian clandestine masonic lodge, had in the economic developments in the country. Considering all firms listed on the Milan Stock Exchange, we analyse the interlocking directorates between the banks and firms infiltrated and not infiltrated by the P2. Our results show that in the 1980-1981 period firms infiltrated by the P2 accounted for the most part of the connections and exhibited higher network centrality. Since 1982 there is a general scaling-down of these firms: an event consistent with negative impact of the public discovery of the P2 lodge during 1981.
