In Milan, 1,600 families are caught in a housing crisis as construction projects remain frozen due to legal investigations into urban planning practices.

These families, who invested their savings into properties, are left in limbo, living in temporary accommodations.

Protesters gathered in Piazza della Scala, symbolically handing over boxes of keys to city officials, demanding urgent action.

The "Salva Milano" decree, intended to address the issue, is stalled in Parliament, leaving many without hope.

City representatives assured the protesters of their commitment to finding solutions, but frustrations continue to mount.

The situation highlights the social and legal challenges of urban development in Italy.
