Tourists hide Rom. Einheimisch foreword from Airbnb

First war Rome the center of the ruling Roman Empire. It was never lost again – the Roman is a problem. The city suffers under Übertourismus. In the center more homes were sold on the portal with Airbnb, tourists clog up the city. Residents like Chiara Mellucci experiences a day on.

By Anna Dotti

A sound accompanies Chiara Mellucci, a standard loop. So the little wheels on the asphalt, the suitcase of the tourists, who are on their way in the center of Rome, are clinging. Mellucci is a group that orients itself on a cross-stone, further on the small citizen’s path between the tables of the restaurants and the gardens of the apartments. Before you quickly hang up your accommodation, you will find in your accommodation in your home an accommodation that is often found at Airbnb.

For a restaurant with the power Mellucci there is a large group of tourists, who Schlange Stehen, a “trippa romana” of essence – rötische Kutteln. If you want more, you don’t have to wait. In the Herzen der Ewigen Stadt, chaotic traffic is common as usual: Neben Autos and Motorrädern streiten E-Bikes, Roller and Segways on the Platz op de Straße. Hinzu kommen Golfcarts as a new faith Fortbewegungsmittel für Touristentouren.

It looks like Ciara Mellucci has an obstacle course. So it will be Mellucci quickly immerse, when he is in his Viertel-on the way. If you live in Rione Monti, a historic Viertel Roms, the Colosseum and the Foro Romano border. Your home is the promise for the daily slalom. If you see a manchmaal fragment: Is it a segment or a fluch, that your life?

Römer verlassen das historic Zentrum

Around 35 Millions of Tourists visited the past years – a record. If the Zahl of Jahr goes to the Jahr-steigt, the Zahl der Einheimischen sinks. They are exploded by the journey of discovery and exploration of four moments in Selfie-Kulissen. It has been a historic center of the city since 1989. Weltkulturerbe, auch weil es von Römern ist. Ohne seine Bewohner bleibt nicht fell more like an overseas bone and Eisdielen, Restaurants and neon light food Souvenirläden. Is it a matter of great beauty, of great Schönheit? Nor nicht: Die Bürger wehren sich. Chiara Mellucci is a von Ihnen.

If you are sitting in the kitchen at home, if you are drinking an espresso, let a piano sound, if you want to play. Mellucci, 47, explains, when he was born south of Rome, he was born in the city and went to school. He also studied in Rome. Ways of work that are carried out in foreign countries, and in India, the US, in Senegal – are carried out by the FAO, the welfare organization of the UN. It is a fact that the FAO is in the Hauptsitz hat.

Lately in housing, it is not possible to walk more roads by the Airbnb guests in the oberen Stockwerk. If there is a wall first and the schlafzimmer shifts, it is so. Ihr Büro is located on a corner of the Stunde Fußweg, a cat jump for a Drei-Millionen-Stadt in Rom. If you are on the Fußweg, the Kolosseum is a ​​good destination.

The world famous amphitheater has become a problem for Mellucci. “I’m not happy with it, but I’ll have a nice morning together,” he said. It seems that the Schwärme von Touristen, Reiseführern, Selfie-Stick-Verkäufern and as Centurions seduced types, it is so that it is a kolosseum tumble.

You can say more about WhatsApp chats on your smartphone. Nachrichten, who quickly alle nach beschwerden blades: Tourists, who lie on the road who in Freibad, who walk on the road. Photos have been taken of Müll with plastic bechern and chip studs, lying on the street. A photo said a laundry rack on the road. “It would be the case that Straßenläden vermietet, de eigentlich als Unterkünfte nicht inhabitable,” said Mellucci.

The Chat-Teilnehmer has been the Mitglieder der Nachbarschaftsvereinigung Comitato Rione Monti for 50 years. Anwälte, Beamte, Rentner, born or raised in Rome, the youngest is 30, the älteste 80. They have a common problem: Übertourismus, for everyone in the Center between Kolosseum, Trevi-Brunnen, Pantheon and Vatikan.

Schon im 19. Jahrhundert war Rom ein beliebtes Reiseziel. Literature such as Goethe or the English Poet Keats are shaped by the Ewige Stadt. Aus den Freizeitreisen has become a mass phenomenon. Egal zu welcher Jahreszeit, in Rom ist immer Hochsaison. Rund 1200 Touristenbusse fahren täglich durch die Straßen. And it will take even longer: before 2025, Franziskus has had a holy New Year.

Before Kurzem Mellucci of the regional Tagesschau gave an interview. The cabinets in front of the house are a problem. Die Leute once went to a hotel, but no one checked. „Nobody white, in western hands the locks are hung“, said Mellucci. Consider the media representation of your enterprise, pressure on the urban expansion.

If the ending has changed, it’s done. The price in the Mini Markets in the Center for Tourists has been considered higher as well. Gleichzeitig schließen de Geschäfte nach en nach, says Mellucci: der Schreibwarenladen, der Schuhmacher, der Elektriker. It may be that the streets in Herzen Roms after the Händlern are good, it is done here with manual labor: Via de’ Fornari zum Beispiel, the Straße der Bäcker, or Via de’ Sediari, the Straße der Schreiner.

More and more streets will be used, which in their own right cannot be lived in.

When the quality of life diminishes, the number of bars, cafés, restaurants and kiosks decreases. Because the historical centre is now a percentage of the city’s surface, you will find this a nice gastronomy business Roms. The sociologist Marco D’Eramo spoke of a new stage of gentrification. The era is an umbrella tourist company of the largest industrial sector, which without exception compensates the rest of the economy.

If you enter the gastronomy involvement in the center of the city administration, the short-term rentals and on Airbnb is only one of the following: 35,000 homes have a function, 12,000 other people are not registered. Control and management for Melluci and his Verein together with other Bürgervereinigungen in dem Dachverband mit dem sperrigen Namen “Grorab” – Romano regolamentazione affitti brevi Grupo; zu Deutsch: Roman Group for the Regulation of Short-term Rentals.

Another form that Mellucci liberated and sat in a café with Maria Luisa Mirabile, 73, sociology professor in the Reststand, came to the attention of the Comitato and the Grorab. Tourists sit with suitcases at the end of the day. Mellucci and Mirabile spread about their active project. “Das Manifesto” is a document of the Dachverband Grorab with Forderungen and the Stadt. Because it is all one of the only verordnung, the short-term changes in the central center and the Umwandlung of short-term changes by Steuererleichterungen fordert.

The text is finished bald. Then we can go into Roman mode. The Mitburger’s involvement was that he had no worries, said Mellucci. We live in the city when the tourist flow begins and blooms with the summer in 2025. Before we have a civic action entitled “Prisoner in the Holy Year” statt.

Ziel ist, bis zum herbst tausend Unterschrift zu sammeln, um the Manifesto of the City zu können. This is followed by a clear soul: the best way for tourists to enter the city, as a sign of prestige and as a memorable event. The first point of the city’s official tourism plans is attractive: attractive.

It is more than a wonder that Mellucci will invest in the company’s investments years later. Were you not alone, living in another city? “Wir wollen nicht umziehen,” said. “We live in our own city and enjoy the beauty of our lives.” The great beauty.
