The reconstruction of the city of Naples in the aftermath of the World War II

The numerous bombardments suffered by Naples, one of the most stricken cities during the Second World War, left some voids both from architectural and social point of view. Consequently, in an attempt to get out of this crisis, the government adopted provisions, which indemnified for the war damages reported from private properties and increased construction activity. In those years in the city fermented a chaotic building market ruled at the beginning by small entrepreneurs and then by large real estate companies that came to Naples to take advantage of economic opportunity. Starting from real estate ads, extrapolated from "Il Mattino" in the 50-60' s, the aim is to identify the construction companies present in Naples in those years, outlining the key role companies played in the transformation of the city.
