  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
  
  -
  
  è 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.
  
  Un luogo è stato fondato negli anni '80 da pacifisti locali e provenienti da tutto il mondo per protestare contro l'adiacente base militare della NATO. La base NATO di Comiso fu chiusa nel 1992 è rimasta inattiva dal 2001. Nel 2024 un collettivo di giovani ha deciso di trasferirsi lì e dare una nuova vita a questo luogo.
  
  Cosa facciamo qui? Musica, arte, attivismo, giardinaggio, edilizia e molto altro.
  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 ambientale
  - Rispetto e dialogo tra i membri residente
  - processo di codecisione
