The article investigates the relationship between social and housing transformations in Vanchiglia, a neighborhood of the city of Turin. The perspective of the house as a material asset and of the home as immaterial one is adopted. The aim is to describe wheter and how social composition changes have contributed to a certain meaning of home. The contribution analyses the homogeneity firstly of the social composition of the neighborhood and secondly of the housing conditions. The reconstruction of a background scenario is based on the collec-tion of aggregate data. The results of the relationship between changes in social and housing composition are based on a series of interviews with privileged observers.
