Once the seat of ancient glory, it is now often the object of national contempt. It plays a significant part on the world stage, but the concerns of its residents are often deeply parochial. And while they live in the seat of a world religion, Romans can be vehemently anticlerical. These tensions between the past and the present, the global and the local, make Rome fertile ground to study urban social life, the construction of the past, the role of religion in daily life, and how a capital city relates to the rest of the nation.GentrificationItalyRomeUrban renewalItalyRomeElectronic books.GentrificationUrban renewal307.1/4160945632Herzfeld M(Michael)988297MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454908503321Evicted from eternity2259974UNINA
