The document provides information about AmpioRaggio, a collective located in Bologna, Italy. It discusses AmpioRaggio's history as a former fruit and vegetable market that was squatted since 2002 and is now used for various projects like an organic market, Italian school for migrants, and urban gardening. The document outlines some of AmpioRaggio's key projects, problems with its physical space and funding, as well as its goals of promoting sharing, recycling, and informal self-organization.

guess
this
