"In our home" would be the litteral translation.But I think it means:"Here in Italy" if you speak french that would be "Chez nous".

It litterally means "our house", "a house for us". By the end of the film Valeria Golino (captain in the financial squad) tells to Ugo (the banker linked to the mob) that "Italy is our house, it belongs to me as much as it belongs to you".

It is linked to the idea of feeling oneself as a foreigner in his/her own country and desiring to re-appropriate it.

And, of course, it is phonetically close to "Cosa Nostra", which is the name of the Italian maffia.
