Summary:This paper aims to investigate the role of the digital in facing the social and practical impact of COVID-19 pandemic on particularly fragile and affected realities, Third Sector Organizations (TSO), in a context pervaded by structural and socio-economic weaknesses, the Campania Region in the South of Italy. It analyzes the digital object as: 1. a process - digitization/digitalization and digital transformation; 2. a scenario - in which identities, activities and alternative spaces of use or data collection transit and are constructed; 3. skills and capabilities - as social capital and value. This re-framing work is intended to be a useful tool for reflecting on the role of digital in research processes, while also offering a contribution in the debate on the Third Sector in contexts of crisis, such as the one generated by the COVID-19 pandemic, that impacts its existence, activity, shape, and perspectives.
