There are places that change the changes over time, change their function, or intended use. Reinvent themselves and former factories become new places that transform the urban landscape and give life, so, to new forms of sociability and aggregation. And it is with a party that involves artists and art lovers that Pastificio Cerere wants to give tribute to his 10 years of happy life in the beautiful inspiring space liberty ex Pastificio Cerere in San Lorenzo, now used as a center of art of the capital.
The Foundation, in fact, is housed in what was once the Pastificio Cerere, a pasta factory, among the oldest in the district, built in 1905 and active until after World War II. Now a relic of industrial archeology of the area, since the 70 spaces of the former factory have started to be used by artists various kinds of, which have gradually established themselves, made studies and retrained the entire building, artist studios, fashion studios, a photography school and studies of graphics and communication. They made a creative space for artists and lovers of creativity.
