The Pilastro Neighbourhood is a public housing complex built in the 1960s on the outskirts of Bologna, known for episodes of crime. Through its history and the lives of its residents, “Il Pilastro” explores the relationship between urban planning and lived experience; it reflects on how a suburb is born and transformed, and on the dynamics of a strong community.
