From 2 to 7 July, the second edition of Porticiak will take place in Rome  : six days of great cinema, culture and sociality at the porticoes of via Monte Cervialto. Among the guests,  Carlo Verdone  and  Matteo Garrone . Organized by the I Portici committee, with the support of the III municipality of Rome capital and the ” periphericapitale ” program of the  Charlemagne foundation , in collaboration with the Brancaleone social center, the Parsec cooperative and the Astracult project, the initiative «was born from the will of a committee of citizens to redevelop an area owned by INPS, left abandoned for too long, thanks to a participatory urban regeneration project”, says  Stefania Mancini , councilor of the Charlemagne foundation, who in this interview with VITA talks about the  Porticiak initiative  and of much more. Mancini is also president of  the Italian Association of Foundations and Philanthropic Bodies – Assifero .
