Agricoltura urbana. La Cascina "la Grangia" a Torino

Urban Farm DB summary

A case study of Turin, Italy's agricultural history examines the now-vanished farmstead "La Grangia" as a way to recover the city's largely forgotten agricultural past, distinct from its better-known industrial image. More than six centuries after its construction, the site's agricultural past has been revived through the activity of the "Movimento per la Decrescita Felice" (Happy Degrowth Movement), which obtained management of part of the Giardino Morbillo — built on the former farmstead's grounds — from the Turin municipality, for a shared urban garden project. The piece notes that such remaining traces of the past are often not recognized as historic-architectural heritage worth preserving.
