Resistenze Urbane – From the Street to the Sky

A Liberation Day festival suspended between street and sky

Resistenze Urbane – From the Street to the Sky is the event with which Fusolab 2.0 celebrates the anniversary of the Liberation in Rome every April 25th, kicking off the season at Casilino Sky Park, the rooftop park overlooking the roofs of the Alessandrino district. The concept is simple yet powerful: bringing a popular festival to the heights, on the fourth-floor rooftop of Viale della Bella Villa, where historical memory and community life meet through music, food, and participation.

The 2026 theme: "Couriers – Sisters of Freedom"

The third edition, scheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2026, is dedicated to the theme "Couriers – Sisters of Freedom": a female-focused edition that highlights the women of the Resistance as a network of courage and organization, connecting them with the daily resistance of today's neighborhoods—care, solidarity, rights, and common spaces. The figures of the partisan couriers become the guiding thread of a day that combines reflection and joy, anti-fascist memory, and a street party.

A day for all ages

The event runs from early afternoon until evening with a rhythm designed to welcome families, young people, and residents of Municipio V:

• Communal lunch with the "resistance menu" at a social price, cooked and shared on the terrace;
• Songs and freedom, featuring voices and narratives linked to the memory of April 25th;
• Free games and workshops for children and teenagers, inspired by the theme of the couriers;
• Live rebel music until the evening, ranging from singer-songwriter tracks to reggae and folk sounds.

Fusolab and Casilino Sky Park

A historic fixture of cultural associationism in the eastern suburbs of Rome, Fusolab 2.0 manages the Casilino Sky Park, an open-air space born from the regeneration of a terrace in the Alessandrino district, in the Capital's Municipio V. A live arena, children's area, street food, and lounge zone coexist in a place that becomes one of the main meeting points of the Prenestino-Centocelle area during the summer. With Resistenze Urbane, this space inaugurates its season every year by transforming the Liberation anniversary into a moment of collective celebration, rooted in the territory of Lazio and its history.

Why attend

Resistenze Urbane is not just a simple commemoration: it is a popular festival that reinterprets April 25th through the lens of the present. Those who climb to the Casilino Sky Park terrace will find a view over the roofs of Rome, shared tables, workshops for the little ones, and concerts that continue until nightfall. A different and authentic way to experience Liberation Day, far from tourist circuits and immersed in the life of a neighborhood.
