(IT) - Quarticciolo Ribelle

Quarticciolo Ribelle is a community movement in Rome's eastern periphery, born out of the historic working-class neighborhood of Quarticciolo. The term “ribelle” (rebellious) stands for the residents’ resistance to top-down policies and their fight for dignity, housing, and services. In response to urban decay, poverty, and social stigma, locals have created grassroots initiatives such as a community gym, free medical clinic, after-school programs for children, and many more free spaces.
