Centro Sociale Occupato Autogestito eXSnia |
| Date |
1995 |
| Description of the project |
The area where the social centre is located is part of the former CISA-SNIA Viscosa factory, closed and abandoned several decades ago. On 12 February 1995, the part housing the social centre was occupied, blocking a gigantic building speculation that would have affected the entire area of the former factory. Another part of the area, now a public park, was expropriated two years after the occupation and returned to the citizens, thanks to the mobilization of the citizens, the neighborhood committee and the occupiers. The occupation therefore began as an act to claim the re-appropriation of denied spaces, for their social and collective use and not linked to profit or delegation logics. (source : former website) |

Hortus Urbis |
| Date |
2012 |
| Description of the project |
Hortus Urbis is an experimental project on public space and biodiversity managed by the association Zappata Romana, born in 2012 in Rome in an unused green area in the frame of the Appia Antica Park. It was destined to be a shared space and a didactic vegetable garden with plants used in ancient Rome selected among those discovered in the excavations of Pompeii or mentioned by Columella, Pliny the Elder, Cato, Virgil.
The Appia Antica Park is one of the most significant protected areas of the city because of its location in the middle of the urban center and because of the extraordinary historical and environmental potential that it can transmit, especially to the younger generations.
The aims of the project concern both natural and cultural aspects. The objective is to increase the sensibilisation of children, youth and adults for the respect of nature through understanding and knowledge. This is a project of education to respect and protect the historical and artistic heritage and the environment in general.
At the Hortus Urbis are held every Sunday workshops for children that have as their central focus on nature, food and culture. There are educational modules in collaboration with associations and groups active in the area concerning gardening, cooking, painting. During the week are hosted schools in the area. There are also courses for adults in gardening, knowledge of wild plants, recovery of ancient skills such as basketry, pruning roses, cooking, watercolors.
The Hortus Urbis is maintained through the voluntary activities of citizens and with the support of local associations, without public contributions.
This collaborative community has created a form of management of the shared resource that is environmentally, economically, socially and culturally sustainable to ensure its use by the whole community. |

| Description of the project |
A redevelopment for temporary use of an abandoned area under the Viaduct of the Presidents, put in place by the Viaduct of the Presidents/Grenapsi association with the participation of Renzo Piano’s group of young architects ‘G124’ and associations engaged in the regeneration of urban spaces such as Interazioni Urbane. But also a way to reappropriate a non-place usually hidden by daily traffic, through green furniture and a real temporary square under the degraded and abandoned pillars into a place of exchange and citizen participation. A first initiative that saw the involvement of the local community, Sotto il Viadotto. |

L’ex Carcere Minorile di San Michele |
| Date |
2015 |
| Description of the project |
The former Juvenile Prison of San Michele on the Ripa Grande harbour, an imposing and unfortunately underused monumental structure, will host from 2 to 4 December the initiative ‘Rome is the cinema’, promoted by the Piccolo Cinema America and the Fondazione Cinema per Roma. The one at the San Michele will be the first appointment of the new ‘CityFest’ project, a travelling festival to bring cinema to the places of the city. The theme of the three evenings will be ‘Youth and Youth Discomfort. This is another example of the great participation of the fondazione del cinema america in the redevelopment of rome. No one should oppose the renovation of venues and abandoned areas, as has often happened, but these organisations should instead be financed and supported in order to bring the city closer to the needs of its citizens. |
