Ortolino |
| Date |
2015 |
| Description of the project |
Urban gardens are born from a project of the National Institute of Bio Architecture.The green area is fractionated into a hundred lots partly for citizens, others for educational activities. Ortolino is a project aimed at the active and democratic participation of citizens and the promotion of models of environmental sustainability. The creation of urban gardens on Viale del Tintoretto in the Municipality VIII of the Municipality of Rome is the result of a larger project that provides moments of sociability and encounters by indulging the desire for greenery to encourage the integration of elderly or lonely citizens and solidarity between different generations. The project is aimed at active and democratic participation, raising the quality of life of citizenship and promoting models of environmental sustainability.
The gardens initiative is non-profit and is intended:
1. to the development of models of self-organization on needs, to combat phenomena of economic hardship through self-production and self-consumption of organic food;
2. to educational and cultural training in which the experience of members can be put at the service of the community, schools and new generations for the development of knowledge in the botanical and agricultural fields by recovering peasant culture and practice;
3. to the promotion of good practices of environmental sustainability;
4. to the preservation of areas otherwise exposed to the risk of building speculation. |

Nuovo Cinema Aquila |
| Date |
1996 |
| Description of the project |
Thanks to the struggles of the neighbourhood inhabitants organised in committees and the insistent demands of the Pigneto Youth Group, the cinema has become a symbol of democracy and participation. Seized from organised crime, it has been entirely renovated by the City of Rome to offer the city a new cultural space dedicated to cinema and the visual arts and to foster the renewal of cultural offerings in the field of cinema through the promotion of contemporary film productions
“The Cinema Aquila became part of the heritage of Roma Capitale thanks to Law 109 of 7 March 1996, Disposizioni in materia di gestione di beni sequestrati o confiscati.” (translated from https://www.turismoroma.it/it/luoghi/nuovo-cinema-aquila) |

Rampa Prenestina |

2013 |
| Description of the project |
Rampa Prenestina is a Cultural Association of Social Promotion, which since 2013 has set up a social laboratory formed by artists, art educators and therapists.
The complex was built as a warehouse for the Opera House; it partly changed its use in the late 1960s and was adapted as a school. In the 1970s, the upper floors were used as residential accommodation for evicted families. Following occupation, the third floor was assigned to the Rampi Centre, which started using it for cultural purposes.
Currently, the floor is managed by a consortium of resident arts groups, who are taking care of the redevelopment and programming of activities. |
