In the house located at 107 Route d’Esch, the Circolo Eugenio Curiel association finds themselves in a pickle. The Luxembourgish headquarters of the Italian Communist Party – which ceased to exist in 1991 to form the Social-Democratic Party, was targeted by the real estate projects spreading all over the capital. The building was destroyed at the beginning of 2024.
Architecturally speaking, the building was nothing out of the ordinary. Yet, since the Circolo acquired it in 1978, it made the days of several Luxembourgish political organizations and other associations. Meeting rooms and the trattoria are both part of a memorial in the hearts of the Left Parties.
Keeping a trace means above all talking about the birth of a cultural cradle for Luxembourg, the result of which surrounds us and feeds us unconsciously today. Public figures, economic players, representatives of the cultural world, many of them have nourished themselves intellectually and physically in this unlikely place. The relationship between activism and cuisine has been the hallmark of the place. A balance between head and belly.
