On the 14th April 2007 in the street Certosa in Milan opposite the old social centre Torchiera of the movement should be opened a shop of the Nazi-Fascist association ‘Cuore Nero’ (to English: black heart). Goal should be to gather the whole radical extreme rights but also the institutionalized right. A few days before the opening the shop catches fire, yet remaining a lot of places in this area, where they can still operate: organize concerts or a variety of initiatives.
By becoming aware of this attempted opening of Cuore Nero based in the ‘ zona 8’ ( numbering of the various districts in Milan ) an anti-fascist committee was founded, in addition to the collective of Torchiera, next to the ANPI ( National Association of Partisans ) – seat of the district, parties and isolated associations in the district. The Committee pursued the idea to contrast the expanding presence of the fascists by organizing itself awareness-raising initiatives and publications in the neighborhood.
In advance of the organizations for the annual big event on the courts: the 25th April (day of liberation from fascism) in 2008 it was decided to create an event, that brings together all different contexts of the city, that have the desire and see the necessity to oppose with something to these developments and to invest in an anti-fascist practice in the city.
From this moment PARTI GIANI IN OGNI QUARTIERE was founded to see the social needs that there are in Milan and here to start from the neighborhoods that are marginally noted from the periphery.
The network exerts itself in new forms of language. The heterogeneity is made up of different generations and manages to organize a big event, that thousands of people participate in.
On 25th April, on the place in front of the cemetery Cimitero Maggiore different artists and other people appear who talk about their anti-fascist activities and other cultural activities, such as in September in a different quarter with a hip-hop-event, which is especially aimed at younger people.
