Milan's Argelati Pool: A Silent Protest Against Privatization

Milan's Argelati Swimming Pool: A Silent Protest Against Privatization A nighttime protest unfolded at Milan's historic Argelati swimming pool, highlighting growing concerns over its closure and potential privatization. A group of anonymous activists entered the abandoned pool and used large letters to spell out the phrase "Pensami pubblica" (Think of me, public) on the pool floor. The message, captured in a drone video, echoes Chiara Ferragni's famous "Pensati libera" (Think of yourself free) phrase from Sanremo. "It's a powerful statement," commented one local resident. "This pool is a part of our community's history, and we won't let it be taken away." The activists' silent demonstration underscores the community's determination to preserve the Argelati pool as a public space. The video's spread online has already sparked a public discussion about the importance of protecting public amenities. The future of the Argelati pool remains uncertain, but this protest has undoubtedly amplified the community's voice.
