Self-managed social centres in Italy exist in many cities. They are part of different left-wing political networks such as anarchist, communist and autonomist. The centres (Italian: centri sociali) tend to be squatted and provide self-organised, self-financing spaces for alternative and noncommercial activities such as concerts, exhibitions, farmers markets, infoshops and migrant initiatives. Over time, some but not all projects have opted to legalize their status. The Leoncavallo social centre was first occupied in 1975. The former pharmaceutical factory was on Leoncavallo Street in the north east of the city. In 1989, the Mayor of Milan decided to evict the building in accordance with the wishes of the owner. It was then partially demolished. Activities at the vast centre include musical concerts, theatre shows, debates and exhibitions. Since 1995, free food and accommodation is provided for whoever needs it. As of 2003, 80 people were working at the centre, half as volunteers, half receiving 'solidarity tokens' for their time. The centre is self-financing, generating the money it needs for upkeep from benefit concerts and bar takings. For ideological reasons the centre refuses to pay taxes.
