ABSTRACT

The following report is a study of the Roman peripheral neighborhood of Trullo conducted between January and April 2015. We used a mixed-methods approach which included interviews with local residents, visual observations, and directed typological analysis to analyze the physical and social characteristics of Trullo. From our site visits and historical research of Trullo, we have deduced the following key themes which will narrativize and animate our analysis: arts and culture, grassroots organizing, guerrilla urbanization, and Placemaking. Despite--or perhaps because of--its long and often challenging history as a peripheral zone,Trullo has emerged as an incubator for a local, endemic arts movement used as a form of bottom-up activism. The tangible artistic contributions to the neighborhood have contributed to communal spaces and community organization which empower residents to claim Trullo as their own and manifest their shared ownership of the area. We elevate arts in Trullo to a prominent role as a source of hope, urban regeneration, and economic development in the coming years.
