A&er the war, with the increase in migratory %ows, housing overcrowding occurs, feeding the clandestine rental market. In an attempt to heal the housing emergency and relaunch the construction market, which was severely weakened by the war, various tools are adopted to encourage economic recovery. However, the system of !nancing with State contributions and incentives for rents and for the construction of new houses, is granted not only to the middle class of white-collar cooperatives, but also to those that bring together senior State o cials, heads of divisions, general managers and judges. Tired of living in monotonous block houses, the Roman middle and upper middle class initially choses the type of villino, which turns out to be perfect to meet the need for decorum and prestige of the new middle class, but which does not guarantee a high yield of the land to the owners nor a controlled expansion in the territory to the Municipality. 'e need to !nd a semi-intensive building solution more homogeneous to the existing fabric and more consistent with a prospect of future development of the urban system intended for the middle classes, leads to the invention of the palazzina, which in a few years, following the approval of the Royal Decree n.1937 of December 16, 1920, becomes the type of election of the Roman bourgeoisie and a fertile ground for experimentation for young architects in search of a new modern language.
