Scomodo is an Italian youth-focused media and cultural organisation founded in Rome in 2016. It describes its purpose as creating spaces for expression and participation for younger generations, working with local communities across Italy.2
Its central editorial activity is a monthly print magazine, produced with contributions from young editors, artists, creatives and writers. The magazine is sold through independent bookshops and cultural venues and distributed free in schools and universities. Scomodo also runs training programmes, school meetings, cultural events and projects connected with urban regeneration.2
Physical spaces are an important part of its work. Its Rome editorial office is inside Palazzo di Spin Time; Scomodo also identifies active communities in Milan, Empoli and Bari, as well as elsewhere in Italy. These spaces host activities such as workshops, discussion and community events.212 The organisation’s stated scope is national, while its local work is organised through communities and spaces in several Italian cities.2
The organisation identifies Brando as the national lead for its communities. Its website does not name a general director or provide a formal registered-office address; a LinkedIn company listing identifies Rome as its headquarters.23 Scomodo publishes through Scomodo S.r.l., according to the magazine’s publication information.11
