Relocation operations have begun for the former residents of Spin Time, the building on Via di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme in Rome evacuated after the fire of July 29 and subsequently placed under seizure. About 120 people have been accommodated in facilities affiliated with the Civil Protection and in religious structures, with priority given to the most vulnerable households, thanks to coordination between the City of Rome and Spin Time's social protection desk. At least 150 other people have remained camped in front of the building, continuing the protest and in some cases refusing the proposed accommodations.

The building had been occupied until July 31. The City of Rome had submitted a purchase offer to Investire Sgr, the company owning the property, to allow the gradual return of the occupants. The company rejected the offer, claiming that an inspection had certified the building's uninhabitability. According to Fratelli d'Italia, it was the Ministry of the Interior that ruled out the possibility of returning to the building for safety and legality reasons.

The main issue concerns the distance of the proposed facilities. Three of the seven identified structures are located outside the Grande Raccordo Anulare, Rome's ring road, despite the former residents' request not to be dispersed and to remain in the Esquilino neighborhood, where they live, work, and have built their relationships. Families report the risk of disrupting their children's schooling. Many former occupants have refused alternative housing in order not to leave the neighborhood.

British director Ken Loach expressed his solidarity with the former residents of Spin Time through a letter. Loach wrote that he was deeply saddened to learn of the fire, the evacuation, and the consequences that followed, emphasizing the difficulty of living on the street, especially for children. The director recalled the meeting he had with the community, describing it as creative and animated by a generous spirit, founded on the principles of sharing and compassion, and mentioned the songs they sang together.

Other intellectuals and artists have shown support for Spin Time, including Fiorella Mannoia, Roberto Saviano, Paola Turci, Giorgio Parisi, and organizations such as Amnesty International and Una nessuna centomila. On the night of August 9-10, a work by the artist Laika appeared at Via Po 16A, in front of Investire Sgr's headquarters: created on one of the protest camp's tents, it depicts a girl holding a shield bearing the Spin Time logo, pierced by three arrows. The artist stated that the struggle for Spin Time will not stop and that the experience represents an example of urban regeneration.

A new meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 11 at 5 PM at the Campidoglio between Spin Time representatives and the city council members for Housing Policy, Tobia Zevi, and Social Policy, Barbara Funari, to manage the housing transition and the dismantling of the protest camp. Spin Time representatives confirm that the camp will continue until every last person has a roof over their head.
