A former juvenile prison housed in a 17th-century convent, occupied in September 2015 by a network of activists and residents of Naples's historic centre. Since 2016 it has been recognised by the city council as a bene comune of uso civico e collettivo, the same as the Asilo Filangieri. It houses a library, a popular football school, vegetable gardens and craft workshops run horizontally and on a not-for-profit basis.
