The cooperative operates on an indivisible-ownership model: it retains ownership of its homes and assigns them for members’ use rather than selling them. Its stated purpose is to build, acquire and restore residential and commercial property for members, on a mutual and non-profit basis. Its activities are focused on Bologna and the surrounding province. 711
