It is a cultural and social promotion association, committed every day to urban regeneration and the dissemination of aggregation processes within the neighbourhood in which it operates, San Cristoforo. Its activities focus on cultural and artistic sharing, the valorisation of public assets, bottom-up organisation, social inclusion and active citizenship. Since 2013 Gammazita has adopted the neighbourhood around Catania’s Ursino Castle, transforming a part of Piazza Federico di Svevia into a free space, returned to the city, where art, culture, sociality and sharing are at home.
