## Summary

An Italian APS that develops territorial state craft through Challenges, training, protocols and public discourse.

## Work

Liminal is an Associazione di Promozione Sociale (C.F. 96492980584) based in Rome. It works with comunes, LAGs, universities and residents on extra-metropolitan territories — not as a campaign, but as a sequence of experiments, formation and reusable methods.
