Ornella Selvafolta (Author)
Important questions about urban labor and domestic life in the past may be addressed by studying the physical remains of the buildings where workers lived. What is thereby discovered must, however, be supplemented with information from written and graphic sources in order to learn about decisions concerning the location and design of housing, the amenities furnished, the costs to residents, and the overall industrial and urban context. Finally, in order to formulate valid generalizations, evidence from specific studies must be corroborated. There follows a study of workers' housing in one Western city, Milan, in the period between the achievement of Italian unification and the outbreak of the first World War. Good examples of various types of, and settings for, such housing still stand. The author hopes that it will stimulate similar studies in other cities, which, eventually, will contribute to a synthesis concerning this aspect of the material history of industrialization.
