caption: RENAISSANCE The city of Augusta and the "Fuggerei", highlighted above, the neighborhood that the famous merchant and banker Jacob Fugger had it built in 1520 to provide workers healthy dwellings at low prices, anticipating the utopian city-workers designed by the great sociologists of ' 800 as Robert Owen. Even in the XXI century the houses are managed by the foundation Fugger and dates in use to poor citizens and Catholics, who use them in exchange for ridiculously low rents, but with a commitment to pray daily for the benefactor and his family.
