ABSTRACT The following analysis focuses on the documentation and synthesis of the conflict dynamics, in relation to the problem of the housing crisis in the Giambellino district, in Milan, between the various actors involved. What emerges is a troubled past, composed of judicial inquiries, incorrect investments and lack of communication and mediation between the parties. This overlaps with the history of the neighborhood itself, famous in the past for having been the scene of bloody clashes and the headquarters of criminal groups of national importance. Nowadays, the housing crisis represents the main problem of Giambellino, where abusive occupations become the only way to oppose the lack of adequate housing for the growing number of requests. This illegal solution is obviously countered by the public actors and the provider of housing settlements, ALER.
