Abstract

The following essay reflects on the original relevance of the family home in the constriction of the personal identity of every human being. The relevance of the presence of the "other" in front of whom we begin to build our personality is exalted in the first place. Subsequently, the link that is naturally established between the home and the city, between the individual and the community, whose operating principles are based on the notion of "common good", both physical and metaphysical, is exalted. Finally, the three main functions of every family home that promote its proper functioning (namely, well-being, education, intimacy) and therefore excellence at a community, social and cultural level are to be considered.
