Cascina Torchiera, Self-managed social center and infoshop in Musocco, Milan, Italy
The building follows an L-shaped layout with two floors, featuring multiple rooms for community activities near the Maggiore Cemetery entrance.
Originally a 14th-century farmhouse owned by the Garegnano Charterhouse clergy, the property transferred to Milan municipality ownership in 1888.
Since 1992, this social center organizes theatre performances, gymnastics workshops, book presentations, music events, and language classes for non-Italian speakers.
Every Monday, the center opens its doors for communal dinners followed by discussions about ongoing projects and social initiatives.
The nickname 'Cascina Torchiera SenzAcqua' emerged after the city administration cut off the water supply following its occupation as a social center.
