Self-managed social centres in Italy

Self-managed social centres (Italian: centri sociali autogestiti, CSA; centri sociali occupati autogestiti, CSOA; or simply centri sociali) exist in many cities in Italy. They are part of different left-wing political networks including anarchist, communist, socialist, and autonomist. The centres tend to be squatted and provide self-organised, self-financing spaces for alternative and noncommercial activities such as concerts, exhibitions, farmers' markets, infoshops, and migrant initiatives. Over time, some but not all projects have opted to legalize their status.
