Abstract
Filippo De Pieri's book, "Tra simili, Storie incrociate dei quartieri italiani del secondo dopoguerra," explores the post-war urban construction in Italy through micro-studies of streets, houses, and neighborhoods in three cities: Turin, Reggio Emilia, and Pesaro. De Pieri focuses on the ordinary aspects of these places, unpacking different modes of housing, architecture, and ways of living. The book also delves into the stories of architects and the communities they created, as well as the legislation that shaped post-war Italian neighborhoods. De Pieri emphasizes the importance of multiple sources, including oral accounts, to understand the complexity of housing and buildings. The book takes a flexible and open approach, incorporating the historian's own experiences and research process. Overall, "Tra simili" offers a diverse and collaborative exploration of post-war urban Italian construction. [Extracted from the article]
