I think that the neighborhood was like that back when I was there, but poor -- the big up and coming secret, just as New York's Soho was at the time as well. So I think the evolution is natural, but that gap between where artists lived because it was all they could afford and where _successful_ artists live because it's damn expensive now is a weird one. I'd love to see it these days, but it's been years since I've been through Rome for anything more than heading somewhere else in Italy.
