This community of families is located in Milan in a beautiful rural court building.  In the end of the 1960s Volpi family was searching for a new way of living, working and raising their five children. They get together with a community of Jesuits and create a new way of living based on working, mutual help and solidarity. In the end of the 1970s they move to villapizzone and had the building from the owner in exchange of renovating it. Today there are about 6 families, a Jesuits family and an association dealing with psychiatric patients living there. The building was given to the municipality of Milan and it is now the municipality who let the community have the space. They share a common garden and playground, which are also open to the neighbourhood. There are also a big kitchen and living room for meetings that are also rented for private parties. The families have complete apartments of their own and conduct a regular family life. All the households put all their earnings in a common account and take what they need from it every month. In 1988 the association comunità in famiglia is born from this community to allow and facilitate the creation of new similar communities in italy. Today there about 12 similar communities in italy.
