In December 2025, over 1,500 people demonstrated in the streets of Trento against the construction of a new repatriation detention center (CPR) planned for the Maso Visintainer area, a few steps from the Piedicastello neighborhood.
The demonstration, promoted by more than 60 groups including movements, anti-racist groups, Italian language schools, associations, unions and political parties, sparked the first popular response to the Fugatti-Piantedosi agreement of 24 October 2025, which calls for the construction of a repatriation centre and the dismantling of the reception system, with the number of beds reduced from 700 to 350.
At the heart of the protest was the rejection of the agreement signed between Provincial President Fugatti and Minister Piantedosi, as well as a denunciation of the government's racist and security-based policies and cuts to provincial reception facilities.
