Nuovo Villaggio Matteotti

New Matteotti Village (Nuovo Villaggio Matteotti) is a neighborhood in Terni, Italy. It was designed by the anarchist architect Giancarlo De Carlo from 1969 to 1974 to house 3,000 workers from the company Società Terni Acciaierie. Only a quarter of the original plan was constructed.

The concrete housing complex was designed after New Brutalism style. It is known for the important role of the inhabitants in the design choices, being classified as participatory design and an example of anarchist architecture. The houses differ in size and they are connected through a web of stairs, corridors and gardens.
