Asilo Filangieri, Cultural palace in historic center, Naples, Italy.
The Asilo Filangieri is a building in Naples' historic center that now houses multiple artistic and educational spaces in one structure. Within its walls you find a theater, workshops for different crafts, dance studios, a cinema space, and a library.
The building began as a convent, then operated as a kindergarten before artists and cultural activists took it over in 2012. This occupation transformed it into a self-managed space for creative activity and community programs.
The space brings together artists, musicians, craftspeople, and educators who work on collaborative projects visible to visitors. You can see how different creators share the same rooms and studios, building something together rather than in isolation.
The place operates through regular gatherings where visitors and participants help maintain the space and coordinate its activities. Check ahead to find out when public events are scheduled, as the program depends on what the community is currently working on.
The building received official recognition as a common good through a legal declaration protecting it from being sold or turned into profit. This unusual status reflects how the community secured the space for the long term.
