Spin Time, the City deals with the purchase.

The future of Spin Time, a building in Rome occupied by the Action movement since 2013, is under discussion after a fire led to its seizure. The City Council is considering purchasing the property or implementing a temporary lease arrangement to manage the transition. Approximately 400 people, including 90 minors, have been living outside the building due to the situation. The building was originally part of a state initiative in 2004 to sell public properties to reduce debt, with the current estimated value at around €40 million. The state has already incurred significant financial obligations, including a €21 million judgment against it and monthly payments until the property is fully vacated.
