  1. Very very rich they lives in centro storico...Piazza Navona, in Piazza di Spagna, Piazza del Popolo in via del Corso, Campo dei Fiori, in via Condotti, near the Colosseo.


  2. Rome is an enormous “village”, made up of “village boroughs”. Well to do people live almost anywhere in the city centre, that is on the Seven Hills; the only exception is  the Railway station. Many old patrician families still have their “Palazzi” in and around famous squares like Piazza di Spagna or Piazza Navona, others have moved to the newer districts like the EUR, or even outlying settlements like the via Cassia, right up to the Olgiata. There are middle class areas like old  ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚€ÂœTrastevere” and “Prati” left and right of the Vatican and all  along the “Consular” roads, clockwise, the Flaminio, Salario, Nomentano, Appio, Ardeatino but not the Tiburtino, Casilino, Prenestino and Laurentino , which are more popular areas. The Pontino and Colombo with it’s new settlements like il Mostacciano are also well to do, whereas the Ostiense, Portuense and Boccea are more popular.  The Aurelio and  Cassia tend to be well to do in most places, but also have popular districts, whereas the Appia Antica  and Ardeatina have some very exclusive villas in between more middle class areas. In other words the “rich”, especially “old rich”, tend to prefer  exclusive apartments, sometimes entire palazzi and villas in otherwise ordinary districts, and not like in other countries in what would be termed “exclusively rich areas”.  Rome’s old aristocracy is  still tied to  it’s ancestral homes and you would not recognise them in the local caffè, because they are not ostentatious. This also applies to foreigners who have made their home in and around Rome, they blend in with the rest, and do not throw their origins around, even if they belong to a noble or well to do family. Many have chosen country life, like in old times and live on their farms or vineyards or in the Castelli Romani (Frascati, Marino, Albano, Ariccia, Castel Gandolfo), where you would mistake  them for  a local farmer. There is only one particular where they are all very similar: they know each other and meet for a natter and a caffè every now and then, or at the Opera or Teatro or at the next horse or dog show. Lots run around in old jeans and are active in social tasks; you might not recognise them, but they know who is not "in" and who is.

    Have a nice time tracing them, it might be fun.
