📍 About the location
The Finocchio district is situated in the suburb of Rome and is now easily reachable from Rome thanks to new metro lines (metro C).This district does not have a lot of cultural and social activities to propose to the young people, that's why we want with the workcamp to activate and give new stimulation to the young population.
