Portale dei Saperi Adds Corvetto Section, Milan Community Hub Opens

Before the easing of Italy's Phase 2 lockdown, Rete Italiana di Cultura Popolare introduced a new section for the Corvetto district of Milan within the Portale dei Saperi. This platform gathers stories, videos, and interviews aimed at helping residents reconnect during quarantine. The initiative falls under Lacittàintorno, a cultural urban regeneration project initiated by Fondazione Cariplo in October 2017, in collaboration with Comune di Milano, Fondazione Snam, and Politecnico di Milano. In February 2020, the first community hub, Made in Corvetto, was established in Piazzale Ferrara, overseen by Cooperativa Sociale La Strada. Mayor Sala emphasized its significance for fostering social connections. Made in Corvetto is part of a €10 million investment to improve living conditions in Milan's outskirts.
