Metro Olografix is a living community, created to share and spread a passion for technology and information freedom. Founded in 1994 in Pescara, it promotes a pure and alternative idea of telematics culture, inspired by the pioneers of the BBS (Bulletin Board System), when the Internet was still an unexplored and fascinating territory.

This association is based on profound principles of free circulation of information, inclusion and participatory democracy. Each member of the community brings his or her own knowledge, sharing it with others and contributing to a collective treasure of experience, knowledge and friendships. It is a place where interests and talents mingle, all united by a common vision: to use technology not only as a tool, but as a means to build a freer and more aware digital society.

One of Metro Olografix’s signature events is the Metro Olografix Camp (MOCA), a quadrennial gathering that brings together hackers and enthusiasts from around the world. At this camp, surrounded by nature, those who attend can explore topics of privacy, cybersecurity and digital rights, discovering that technology can still be a positive and transformative force. The atmosphere at MOCA is unique: a combination of knowledge, creativity and that dose of constructive rebellion that has characterized the history of hacking.

Metro Olografix continues to engage on multiple fronts, offering free and accessible courses, promoting technological reconditioning with projects such as Refurbish Ninja, and fighting for responsible and safe use of the web. Over the years, this group has become a true virtual family that embraces anyone who shares the vision of a free and open digital society. A place where, as its members like to say, anyone can dream, create, discover and grow.
