Home sweet home is a saying that immediately conveys the warmth we find in our home. It conveys the welcome and security of what is a safe haven for one's private life. This work uses this famous saying to describe by contrast, different situations that challenge the normal application of such a simple concept. For so many people, home is not a sweet home. More and more citizens are encountering problems, more or less severe, regarding the four domestic walls. Housing is a right, but unfortunately it is not guaranteed for everyone. My interest starts from this consideration, from this awareness. We hear more and more about the high rents that affect big cities and cities with a strong tourist vocation. The problems that affect housing, however, are many: from those who trivially have nowhere to stay and decide to occupy one of the many completely vacant properties, to those who have to travel many kilometers away from their place of work to find a rent at a decent price, passing through those actors that trigger the rise in real estate prices and rents, such as housing speculation and the endemic spread of Airbnb. The numbers of people who are involved in some form of housing distress are high. Rents are increasingly expensive. The dynamics driving up rents seem unstoppable. More and more people would need public housing, but these are not being built. Plus what has been built over the years has either already been sold, or is in very poor condition. By now there is little left of the public housing stock. Politics does not act, is helpless, when it is not directly contributing to making the situation worse. Fortunately, there is still a fringe of people, few if any, who try to resist, to spread a different narrative to the prevailing one, and to implement more "creative" solutions. Net of all this, it seems clear that the right to housing is not really guaranteed by the policies put in place. The project focuses mainly on the city of Florence, emblematic because is both a city with a very strong tourist vocation and a landing place for university students from the surrounding area. These factors have triggered an uncontrollable rise in rental and real estate prices, engulfing a very large number of people in some form of housing distress.
