Cascina Torchiera is a historic cascina a corte (farmhouse) of Milan, Italy, dating back to the first half of the 14th century.[1] It is located in zone 8 of Milan, adjacent to the Maggiore cemetery, in the Musocco/Garegnano district,[2][3] and is one of the oldest surviving cascine within the city boundaries.[3] The cascina is formally the property of the Comune di Milano city administration and has been a squatted self-managed social centre since the 1992. It is known as Cascina Autogestita Torchiera SenzAcqua.
