Roma. “Il lago che combatte”

Abstract

In the process of barbarisation that destroys every existing social link and opens a desolating post-human scenario, the alternative, albeit difficult, seems to be that of a re-discovery and revalorization of horizontal relationships and of the growth of communities linked to the territory. The article tells a unique ‘story of urban resistance’ which shows, and not only symbolically, how some forms of economic liberalism can be stopped when the members of a neighbourhood community rise up (in this case helped, we could say, ‘by a friendly nature’) in opposition to an act of overbearing arrogance organized against the city and its inhabitants.
