La Cavallerizza Reale is
a large complex built between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries
as a military headquarters of the Academy: a complex that is protected
by a bond, and that is part of the system of the Savoy royal residences
UNESCO World Heritage Site. Transferred
from the State to the City of Turin, the Riding has become part of the
Teatro Stabile, and in 2001 it is open to the city as a place of
entertainment, with great success. But
following the savage cuts in local authority budgets, the municipal
authority has decided not to reap the benefits (social, but also
economic) of its investment, and decided to sell the complex: in 2009 it
was entrusted to the Securitization city
of Turin Ltd., and in 2013 the representations and visits of private
speculators have started that they would like to purchase the monument
(a price about 12 million euro).
Some citizens came together in a Autoconvocate participatory
process to decide the future of that great historical space, and announced three days of occupation.....

It would be best to keep such a place squarely in public hands.
