Book Synopsis
Focuses on Rome's historic Monti district and the wrenching dislocation caused by rapid economic, political, and social change. This book tells the story of the gentrification of Monti - once the architectural home of a community of artisans and shopkeepers now displaced by an invasion of rapacious real estate speculators, and corrupt officials.
