The Factory in the Woods
The Factory is a multifunctional space immersed in the greenery of Monferrato.
A place designed to welcome diverse people, activities, and experiences, where the local area meets a broad, international community.
The structure extends over approximately 800 square meters of internal and external spaces, designed to adapt to different uses throughout the day.
More than a building, the Factory is a place of relationships.
A context where differences become richness and dialogue takes shape through shared experiences.

the project
La Fabbrica is a non-profit project with a clear social purpose: the dissemination of sport, music, and culture in the broadest sense, aimed at children, families, and adults.
The activities have an educational, social, and cultural purpose and are expressed through courses, events, meetings, and shared spaces.
Any profits generated are entirely reinvested in project development, space improvements, and expanded community activities.
