A property confiscated from organised crime and the refurbished park beside it were inaugurated in Modena’s Sacca neighbourhood on 6 November. The space is in Via Anderlini and is intended for community activities. [1]
The Municipality’s earlier account identifies the social cooperative La Porta Bella as the manager, coordinating 24 associations and informal groups. Planned activities include a listening service, employment guidance for young people and workshops for children and parents. The opening is a concrete step; the lasting value will depend on how the space is used. [2][1]
The bright side
Social reuse returns a place taken from organised crime to the community, with a programme of services and participation. [2][1]
One idea, in simple words
On 6 November, a community space opened in Modena’s Sacca neighbourhood. It occupies a property confiscated from organised crime. Confiscated means that the state has taken an asset away from its previous owners through a legal decision. The nearby park also opened after refurbishment work. [1]
The Municipality had selected the La Porta Bella cooperative, which coordinates 24 associations and groups. Plans include a listening service, employment guidance for young people, and workshops for children and parents. Imagine, for example, a table where families can work together: this illustrates the idea, rather than reporting a workshop that has already happened. The opening is confirmed, while the activities’ longer-term effects remain to be observed. [2][1]
