The event, organized by CooperACTiva in collaboration with Luiss LabGov, due to adverse weather conditions was held on foot: the appointment was set at 10:00 at the former Agip square in Via Casilina, 890, where the participants were waiting for the volunteer speleologists of Underground Rome.
The group, equipped with torches and helmets, was guided inside the Tunnel of Centocelle and the quarries connected to it, the access of which was only possible thanks to the intervention of volunteer citizens who carried out extraordinary cleaning actions in the days before the event.
At lunch time the wine bar “In VenadiVino” hosted a pleasant convivial moment, to rediscover the flavors of the typical cuisine of the place. In the early afternoon began the treasure hunt set up by Centocellule, action to support the fundraising in favor of the reconstruction of the Library Cafeteria “The Electric Sheep”, victim on 25 April of an incendiary act.
