Name EcoMuseo Casilino Ad Duas Lauros
Date 2012
Description of the project The project – unanimously approved by resolution 24.1.2011 of the former Rome VI Municipality – envisages the systematization of the immense demoetnoantropological, archaeological, historical, artistic, landscape, urban planning, spiritual heritage stratified in the area called Comprensorio Casilino Ad Duas Lauros and, for historical-social-morphological homogeneity, of the entire Rome V Municipality. The Ecomuseum is not a defined physical space, but (as Hugues de Varine says) is an everywhere fruit of a collective path, which is built by identifying the elements that will be part of it, enhancing and connecting them.” The Ecomuseum, again quoting Varine, is “something that represents what a territory is, and what its inhabitants are, starting with the living culture of the people, their environment, what they have inherited from the past, what they love and what they wish to show to their guests and pass on to their children. The mission is to build a possible model to be declined in the Rome 5 Municipality through the creation of an extended network of citizens and associations, with the aim of creating a real tool that allows the protection, enhancement and development of the territory according to sustainable, equitable, durable, participatory standards.

This collaborative community has initiated a form of management of the shared resource that is environmentally, economically, socially, and culturally sustainable to ensure its enjoyment by the whole community

Date 1984
Description of the project “The Committee for the Caffarella Park, which has as its symbol the stylised farmhouse of Vaccareccia, was founded in 1984 by some young people of the time with the aim of eliminating degradation, expropriating the area, creating a public park within the larger complex of the Appia Antica Park and disseminating the great historical-artistic-naturalistic heritage of the IX Municipality. To this end, the Committee for the Caffarella Park has collaborated with the Municipality of Rome for the drafting of the Caffarella Use Plan, for the first expropriation of 70 hectares of the valley (1999) and for the second expropriation of a further 40 hectares plus the farmhouses (2005). The Committee also cooperates with the Province of Rome and the Lazio Region, and with the Appia Antica Park Authority. Through conferences and the publication of several texts on the historical-artistic-naturalistic heritage of the Caffarella and the villas and monuments of the IX Municipality, the Committee has made its contribution to the dissemination of the remarkable cultural heritage of this area of our city.” (source : website)

Name Millepiani coworking
Date N/A
Description of the project It is a collaborative reality, like few others, which includes: stable enterprises, graphic/design, start up, common citizens, students. It often has difficulty in relating with political and administrative actors, who tend to entrust spaces through public tenders. Millepiani coworking operates in a public space with direct assignment ; it does not pay a rent as there is an agreement with the City Hall for an exchange of services.

Those who work in the coworking pay different fees depending on the activity to cover the costs of the structure. There is an active collaboration with CONFARTIGIANATO, Chamber of Commerce and Porta Futuro (which creates conventions for start-ups) to reach an agreement. The Millepiani coworking also welcomes citizens with ideas to be realized, such as young graduates in archaeology who develop their skills through coworking, unemployed people who are trying to get back into the employment sphere, third sector (a cooperative that works with ALS for the reintegration of disabled people).

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 entire community.

Name Parco Sangalli
Date 2015
Description of the project In 2010 the park was completely abandoned, from policing to pruning. Between 2010 and 2012 there were volunteer activities once a week to clean the park. They reported the situation but nothing was done.

Open dump, there have been several campaigns to sponsor and spread the word about the problem that have led to nothing. Especially bringing together the already active voluntary associations and pull in the others. Istituto dell’affidamento dell’area verde “Offence-omission of a public service” calls for tenders to take funds for park cleaning and equipment acquisition.

For keeping clean and active the archeological garden, they define high costs 15,000 euro, expectations of a new part-time job and twenty people who could work a day job: a sort of public call was made with a ranking list giving priority to unemployed older people, unemployed young people not students, immigrant women. Among 45 submitted, 20 places were reserved.

The park get transformed and clean from July 2015 until June 2016. It built economic support, support for the park, and cultural activities (outdoor cinema, group walks). The volume of glass produced by the park weekly was in industrial quantities. There has been a change in custom, bottles are no longer thrown on the ground but in the bin. New funds are also being sought with a call within a community found process. It is a platform for association, and provides services for citizens in need.

Date 2015
Description of the project The house of the park welcomes locals and tourists. It is “equipped with a ‘cycle workshop’ for renting and repairing bicycles and a vegetable garden.” It is a “symbol of sustainable tourism: from the welcome via an information point for Romans and tourists with English-speaking operators, to the creation of a vegetable garden – school visits are planned – and the organisation of guided tours, including the hire of bicycles to experience the park at 360 degrees.”

“The management has been entrusted to Humus Onlus and for now it will be open to the public four days a week: from Friday to Monday. The other days the spaces are reserved for schools and other training and meeting activities of local associations. It will offer first reception services, tourist services also aimed at the international public (nature and historical-archaeological guided tours also in foreign languages and bike hire with bikesharing service upon reservation) and educational activities for schools and families in the spaces dedicated to horticulture and historical and naturalistic studies.”

This space has been created thanks to the fight and work of the association of volunteers from the Cafarella park.
