The Camp Rolo 1 have been a small camp out of the town and with mixed management: the Civil Protection looked after the logistic and the direction of the camp, the “Giovani Democratici” of Reggio Emilia looked after the kitchen and the distribution of the meals. The guest were often involved in the organization of the camp’s life. The small number of inhabitants in the camp has allowed that a such unusual management could work without creating problems and so everybody felt more calms, spontaneous and longing for human relationships. This camp has surely represented an unique occasion of exchange and integration among a closed community as the Pakistans one, that almost represented the totality of the guest and the Italian community.

Their owners have decided not to move away from their districts and they have prepared a camp in a little garden between the houses. They don’t receive helps from any organization and their biggest fear is to be cleared, from an ordinance of the mayor, before having finished their renovation working. This would force them to leave their houses unguarded and to move in a camp or in a
provisional residence.
