Description
Torre Angela, a village of 4,000, located on the rim of Rome, offers one sign of the grave economic crisis facing Italy. The entire village, one of 100 encircling Rome, was illegally built and officially does not exist. Torre Angela was constructed mostly by families enticed from the backward and poor south of Italy by dreams of jobs. About 800,000 of Rome's 2.8 million inhabitants live in illegally built dwellings.
