Description
This is a "reborn" eco-village in the country side of Sicily (Italy). It has a long history but what we want to create is a new and bright future with new people and new ideas.
It was a house that was funded in the 80s by pacifists from all over the world that arrived in Sicily for protesting against the military NATO basement. The pacifists movement made it: the NATO base in Comiso was closed.
After many years of this house in sicilian nature being closed, in 2025 a group of young people decided to move there and give to this place a new life.
What we do there? Music, art, activism, gardening, eco-building and much more.
We are happy to welcome new people and new ideas, staying of course with the core values of the original place about:
- Pacifism
- Environmental respect
- Respect and dialogue between members
- co-decision making process

Un piccolo avamposto di resistenza culturale e sociale "rinato" tra le campagne siciliane. Ha una lunga storia, ma ciò che vogliamo creare è un futuro nuovo e luminoso, con nuove persone e nuove idee. Il luogo è stato fondato negli anni '80 da pacifisti locali e provenienti da tutto il mondo per protestare contro l'adiacente (ex) base militare della NATO. La base NATO di Comiso fu chiusa nel 2002. Nel 2024 un collettivo di giovani (Lost Youth Movement) ha deciso di trasferirsi lì e dare una nuova vita a questo luogo organizzando concerti, conferenze, mostre, laboratori, cineforum e tanto altro ma oltre all'arte c'è l'attivismo e ci piacerebbe essere più attivi nel giardinaggio, nell'edilizia e nella permacultura, proprietà che purtroppo ci mancano ancora.
Siamo lieti di dare il benvenuto a tutte le nuove persone con belle idee, restando ovviamente fedeli ai valori fondamentali del luogo originale:
- Pacifismo
- Rispetto per l'ambientale, per gli animali e per l'uomo
- Rispetto e dialogo tra i membri residente
- processo di codecisione -
