Existing Dynamics:The project had a strong influence on the political level of discussion, or at least explicitly addressed an issue of political interest. This will ensure that the project will receive public support and funding. In addition, existing local and regional interests are connected to the site. 

Obstacles:Initially, it was difficult to involve both conservative stakeholders and innovative thinkers to believe in and contribute to the project. It was also difficult to gain the trust of the local residents and to get their commitment.

Resources:Human and financial resources, as well as the main initiative for setting up the project, were provided by TURAS. Università Agraria di Manziana, Lazio Region, and the local residents provided the expertise and assistance with the venue. They also provided local knowledge and contributed to the visioning workshop. The project missed one important resource which was the Local Action Group.

Strokes of Luck:There were several opportunities that benefited the project. For instance, due to contamination by its previous sulphur mining use, the site was given for free to Università Agraria, a local body managing the forest in common ownership of Manziana's residents. Savings by an EU-funded project then led to decontamination of the site and the renovation of one of the existing buildings.
