Data and contact details

The “Cervelli Ribelli” HubLab is located in Rome in the Prati district. It was purchased in 2019 by Gian Luca Nicoletti and renovated for the benefit of the “Fondazione Cervelli Ribelli Ets”. The premises of approximately 160 m2 are located in via Tommaso Gulli 3 in Rome.

All the comforts and structural requirements necessary to carry out creative workshops, training, multiplatform digital productions and cultural activities of various types are guaranteed. (See Cervelli Ribelli Project)

In this place, Tommaso Nicoletti (Tommy), a neuro-divergent artist, works and produces; from here he communicates his universe of "rebel brain" with colors and brushes.

The Foundation is developing the project to create around tommy's artistic atelier a "rebel art school", open to other young artists like him "Rebel Brains".

The aim is a new vision of outsider art, free from the prejudice of pathological and cursed activity that has often marked this expression of maximum freedom of thought and point of view.

In this direction it proposes to challenge stereotypes, by entrusting art with the task of giving dignity of existence to people considered non-standard, for whom it is possible to counteract indifference and stigma through the valorization of their expressive potential.
