The first of the events related to the Living Memory Exhibition PartecipARTe was a success!During the evening, all participants shared a moment to celebrate the inauguration of Claudia Romagnoli’s (aka Croma) art project and reflect on the significance of the project. The work, which now stands on one of the facades of the Torre Spaccata Market, can be enjoyed by all.
Various representatives from CooperACTiva, Fusolab and LUISS took part in the debate that took place in the afternoon. The meeting aimed on the one hand to formulate proposals for ‘unlocking the potential of cultural heritage’ to support sustainable territorial development, and on the other hand to explore the role of markets and new technologies in urban economic development.
Also speaking were members of municipal and Capitoline institutions, such as the Councillor for Economic Development of Roma Capitale, Andrea Coia; The Head of Strategic Management and Innovation, Department of Economic Development and Labor of Roma Capitale, Cristiano Alviti; and the President of the Council, Municipality VI of Roma Capitale, Alberto Ilaria. Also with them were representatives of the European project OpenHeritage (PhD Heike Oevermann) and LabGov.city (Arch. Sofia Croso Mazzuco).
The evening continued with musical performances by Dj Ceffo & Dj Brush, Il Turco, and Nitrus.
In addition to CooperACTiva members, a number of neighborhood merchants, such as Il Pastaio and Felice Pizza, participated in the organization of the event, serving food at food stations around Romanisti Park.
