The essay aims to offer a review of family history studies in Italy over the last twenty years, exploring in particular the following topics: the role played by the affections in modulating family logic and the flexibility of the household to adapt in order to increase or optimize economic resources; the forms of assistance that were given to the family and the ways to obtain them, including legal procedure; the attention paid to siblings and the role of the elderly, which from a historiographical point of view we could define as 'new' relatives; non-biological parental relationships, that is the forms of foster care and adoption practiced in modern times.
