The paper draws inspiration from the analysis of the criminal proceedings about the spread of Covid-19 epidemic in Val Seriana in order to make a general reflection about the lack of effec-tiveness shown by criminal law in handling legal and social consequences arising from major dis-aster, where individual responsibilities are hardly ascertained, while victims need answers. Con-sidering the limits of criminal law, the author hopes for the use of different tools, for example re-storative justice, even if it can be jeopardized by the criticalities that affect the Italian newly passed legislation.

Abstract
The paper draws inspiration from the analysis of the criminal proceedings about the spread of Covid-19 epidemic in Val Seriana in order to make a general reflection about the lack of effec-tiveness shown by criminal law in handling legal and social consequences arising from major dis-aster, where individual responsibilities are hardly ascertained, while victims need answers. Con-sidering the limits of criminal law, the author hopes for the use of different tools, for example re-storative justice, even if it can be jeopardized by the criticalities that affect the Italian newly passed legislation.
