Abstract: The Servizio Costruzioni e Impianti Fiat (Fiat Construction and Installation Division), starting from the second postwar period has had extensive experience in civil engineering, building installations and housing field gradually gaining an extremely differentiated technical know-how. Starting from 1949 the Servizio Costruzioni e Impianti in collaboration with INA Casa designed a council type residential complex to provide accommodation for the workers employed at the Fiat plants in Turin. A considerable effort has always been addressed, with use of human resources and vast financial resources, to the implementation of equipment and social services both as direction integration of the industrial area as well as more complex operations in the housing field and its related services. From the second world war 12.000 apartments were built, with a useful surface area between 56 and 142 square meters, divided in beetween Turin and the neighbouring municipalities particularly. However in 1954 the company decided to start a real “Housing plan”, parallel to public intervention. Eight billion in eight years formed the first investiment estimate, intended for aparments to assign to deserving employees. The plan has an extraordinary succes, as much as it was extended until 1974.
