S.AGATA RIMOSSA
Reactivation project
2015
Collaboration with Associazione Maite for the rehabilitation of the former prison of Sant’Agata, in the uptown of Bergamo.
In July 2015, as member of Maite I collaborated in reopening the former prison of Sant’Agata to the public. After achieving a deal with the Municipality, we got the permission to reuse the spaces of the old building (originally a monastery): we coordinated cleaning, technical setting and minimal furbishing, and we realized first a week-end and later a full week of events. The prison was able to host tours of the building, concerts, theatre performances, exhibitions.

Later, the dialogue with institutions continued and thanks to the constant efforts of the Association the building is still open to the public: more citizens are being involved in the process of reactivation, the program is growing and becoming stronger and more structured. But the projects is still in progress, to become fully a recognized and active part of the city.
On the Facebook page “EXSA Ex Carcere Sant’Agata di Bergamo” it’s possible to check the month calendar and the updates of the project.
