In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and globalization, cities are increasingly competing to become tourist destinations, workplaces, and culturally rich places: these issues tend to shift the focus away from an old problem of the urban, housing, that especially in Italy continues to be one of the difficult knots to solve. Starting with housing, this thesis focuses on one of the practices that deny individuals and families the possibility of housing: the evictions. The city of Turin is not immune and it is particularly interested by these phenomena: in 2014, eviction requests reached 4.693 (Comune di Torino, 2023), making it the capital of Italy in terms of the number of evictions: 1 for every 241 families.
