We have studied the interaction of vector mesons within the hidden gauge formalism and applied it to the particular case of the {rho}{rho} interaction. We find a strong attraction in the isospin, spin channels I, S=0, 0 and 0, 2, which is enough to bind the {rho}{rho} system. We also find that the attraction in the I, S=0, 2 channel is much stronger than in the 0, 0 case. The states develop a width when the {rho} mass distribution is considered, and particularly when the {pi}{pi} decay channel is turned on. Using a regularization scheme with cutoffs of natural size, we obtain results in fair agreement with the mass and the width of the f{sub 0}(1370) and f{sub 2}(1270) meson states, providing a natural explanation of why the tensor state is more bound than the scalar and offering a new picture for these states, which would be dynamically generated from the {rho}{rho} interaction or, in simpler words, {rho}{rho} molecular states.
