Outlaw gardeners

A decade ago, in various regions of Italy, the phenomenon of “guerilla gardening” emerged from the desire of some young people not to remain passive, waiting for things to change in their city. On their own initiative, they began to clean and revitalize urban spaces neglected or forgotten by local authorities, being inspired by the movement born in the 70s in New York. Both individual initiatives and organized groups have already fought a considerable series of “battles”, using plants and flowers as the only possible weapons, some of their interventions taking permanent roots in the city.
Now united in a national network, these new urban heroes remind us that in this day and age, planting a seed can be an act of revolution.
