6 pm | Meeting with Quarticciolo at Zenobia
Meeting Point: Zenobia, Campo Junghans, 487/B Giudecca, 30133 Venice
Quarticciolo is a fascist “Borgata” that was designed by the architect Roberto Nicolini in the 1940s and became one of the garrisons of the resistance in Rome. Here, the Casa del Fascio, the abandoned former police headquarters, later became a housing occupation. “Quarticciolo Ribelle” was born and a public gym was started, followed by an after-school program, a brewing laboratory, a medical clinic, and a printing workshop – all self-organized activities that reacted to the disappearance of public services from the neighborhood. Recently, the government reacted to drug dealing by calling for the militarization of the area – the Red Zone – in order to clear away all illegal activities: drug dealing as well as the self-managed social network. Reuniting the city’s social movements, the neighborhood answers: we already have a plan!
Founded in March 2023, ZENOBIA is a non-profit sports and social promotion association dedicated to making sports accessible to all, breaking down barriers and fostering community. Beyond sports, ZENOBIA is also a cultural hub with a beautiful library, where book presentations, musical moments, and social events are organized to strengthen the sense of community and create shared spaces for all.
