Italian-Canadian Nathalie Naim, who serves as a municipal district councillor in Rome, lives in the Monti neighbourhood and has been fighting the severe impact that mass tourism has had on the historic centre of Rome. Is it being Disneyfied like Venice? Buildings given over to short-term holiday rentals, "convenience" shops selling alcohol at all hours, the loss of retail for ordinary locals, and slack governance and security are some of the issues Nathalie will discuss with us. How can we curb these detrimental changes?
