This article examines the eviction of tenants and squatters from a Renaissance palace in Ferrara, purchased by the Italian state in 1920. The case stands at the crossroads of three processes in European history between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: the social and material ‘decadence’ of aristocratic residences, the birth of ‘national heritage’ and preservation policies and the explosion of the ‘housing problem’, following changes in urban demography and social structure. Considering a large range of sources, the article offers new insight into the conflict between different urban bureaucracies and inside them. It also explores the different forms of agency of working-class dwellers against the background of troubled post-war years followed by the advent of fascism.

遗产居民：意大利文艺复兴时期宫殿的居民及其在费拉拉的有问题的驱逐，1900-1940

本文探讨了意大利政府于 1920 年购买的费拉拉文艺复兴时期宫殿中的租户和擅自占地者被驱逐的情况。此案处于 19 世纪至 20 世纪欧洲历史上三个进程的十字路口：社会和物质“颓废”随着城市人口和社会结构的变化，贵族住宅的出现，“国家遗产”和保护政策的诞生以及“住房问题”的爆发。考虑到大量来源，本文对不同城市官僚机构之间​​及其内部的冲突提供了新的见解。它还探讨了在战后动荡年代以及随后法西斯主义出现的背景下工人阶级居民的不同形式的能动性。
