Civic Garrone

In the 60s, to address the housing crisis following the arrival of immigrants attracted by work at Fiat, numerous public housing projects were built in neighborhoods that later became symbols of degradation. The film documents the demolition of one of these buildings in the Mirafiori Sud neighborhood, but above all, it reconstructs—through firsthand accounts from residents, former Turin mayors Diego Novelli and Giovanni Porcellana, and with the aid of newspapers and period footage—the lives of the families who lived there, the history of a neighborhood, and the epic story of southern immigration to Turin in the 60s.
