Apartment size requirements in Italy for obtaining a Residency Card?

I just read about a couple who are living in Italy and they were refused a Residency Card because the home they were renting did not meet the Regional Requirements for a family of 3, parents and child. Their house is 44,5 square meters and the requirement states that it must be 46 square meters. They were told they would have to rent another apartment to meet the requirements. Does anyone know if this rule is the same in the Rome area? Also, what is the square footage requirement for just one person? I have a very small pension and I am planning on renting a very economical small apartment. I would really appreciate any and all information on this subject.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely, Dolce

We just received our certificate of residence and they never asked us about the size of our apartment nor was it required on the form we filled out to apply for the certificate. Perhaps it's different in the case of a family with children, but it was not an issue in our case.

Officially, before approving residency, the town police will make an unannounced visit to the address to ensure that you are really living there and that it meets requirements for minimum size, hot and cold potable water, sanitary facilities, etc.

If this wasn't done in your case, it is likely that the comune already knew your situation, was familiar with your address, etc.

Just like in the US, you will find that rules in Italy can be applied in very unequal fashion.
