In Baggio, near the beautiful Parco delle Cave and the houses in via Zoia, the S.O.Y Mendel centre, named after the Milanese partisan Mendel (the name stands for Spazio Occupato Indipendente Mendel – Independent Occupied Space Mendel – or simply for “I am Mendel”) was born in 2014. In 2017, they also founded the ZOIA BROTHERS, a football team born thanks to the friendship created between the Soy Mendel collective and the migrants who lived at the Manara school in via Fratelli Zoia.
