Abitazioni per persone sole nella Milano del primo Novecento: l'esperienza cooperativa e il caso dell'Albergo Popolare
This paper reconstructs the origins of housing for single people in early twentieth-century Italy, with particular attention to the case of the Albergo Popolare in Milan (1901), a philanthropic initiative promoted by Luigi Buffoli. In the rapidly industrialising urban context of early twentieth-century Milan, marked by a severe housing crisis, the Albergo Popolare provided a concrete response to the growing demand for accommodation from migrant and seasonal workers. Inspired by the British model of the Rowton Houses, the project introduced a new residential typology based on the negotiation between private spaces and mechanisms of surveillance, within a broader hygienic-moral programme. The research examines the role of this experiment within the transnational context of late-nineteenth-century paternalistic-industrial, philanthropic, and cooperative housing initiatives, shedding light on a history often neglected by historiography, which remains largely centred on family housing. Particular attention is devoted to cooperative initiatives aimed at single women, modelled on the Albergo Popolare, and their marginalisation within the housing landscape of the time. Drawing on archival sources and an interdisciplinary perspective, the study explores the tensions between philanthropy, modernity, and paternalism, offering new interpretative insights for rethinking the history of Italian residential architecture through the lens of housing for single people

Vivere soli nell’Italia fascista e post-bellica: sperimentazioni abitative per persone sole nella prima metà del Novecento
This paper explores the history of housing projects for single people in Italy between the Thirties and the Fifties by examining their genesis, models, representations, and media dissemination. Combining research on secondary and existing sources, with a novel perspective on some archival materials, this study is part of the current historical debate on the conception and circulation of unconventional housing models in the Italian and international urban landscape
