A former 17th-century farmhouse abandoned in the 1960s and recovered by the Turin city council's Progetto Urban, which reopened it as a casa del quartiere in 2007. With 2,500 square metres in Mirafiori Nord, it is the founding site of the Rete delle Case del Quartiere, a network of ten spaces co-managed by associations and residents that offer culture, social services and a place to meet.
