This book investigates cohousing in Italy, a housing model that is both underused and often overlooked. By engaging cohousers’ stories and applying a sociological lens, it brings to light their lived experiences while tracing the history and evolution of this alternative housing model in Italy.
The book is structured in three parts. It begins by taking readers through the evolving landscape of housing in Italy and explores the unique features of the local housing context, tracing the historical shifts in how public and social housing have been understood and implemented. Moving into the realm of collaborative living, the second part delves into the state of cohousing in Italy—its roots, current practices, and defining characteristics. The third part turns to the public cohousing model, offering actionable insights and practical recommendations for researchers, professionals, and advocates working to reimagine housing as a space for connection and community.
