The purpose of this research is to show one factor of the biginning of Arte povera, the most significant artistic movement of post-war Italy, through consideration of the urban space where the artists of 1960s lived. Arte povera, which was grouped up in 1967, is considered today as one of the currents of post-minimalism begun at the end of 60s. It is difficult, however, to define Arte povera by the form, since it developed various expressions in a short period. This research analyzes the works which were made throughout 60s at Turin - the major stage of Arte povera - in order to reveal the relationship between works and cultural-social situation of the city surrounding the artists. In sixties Turin was a city of FIAT as well as a center of industry in Italy, and was suffered various problems (lack of abitation and public space, conflict between classees...etc) caused by influx of workers from the southern Italy. This argument about a case of Turin, will make clear the fact that the environment of this city at that time inspired Arte povera to explore diverse expressions.
