Intergenerational homesharing: Gianfranca and Emanuele' story

Emanuele is an out-of-town student in the master's degree program in Landscape Sciences. Gianfranca is a Paduan citizen with some experience in hosting students and visitors who chose to join the project last year.
After a year of cohabitation, a relationship of friendship and exchange has developed: two people from different generations who share not only the spaces of the home but also their experiences.
Intergenerational homesharing is the project of the University of Padua in collaboration with the Municipality of Padua that offers a solution to the housing shortage and high rental costs that out-of-town students of the University must bear, promoting integration with the city's population over 65 years old, aimed at fostering supportive relationships and mutual human and cultural exchange.
