A small culturally mixed community living in an apartment building in the center of Rome is thrown into disarray when one of the tenants is found murdered. As each of the victim's neighbors is questioned by the police, readers are offered an all-access pass into the most racially diverse neighborhood in contemporary Rome. Told in prose that is as colorful and vivacious as the neighborhood it describes, Clash of Civilizations Over an Elevator in Piazza Vittorio is a bittersweet comedy that is refreshing in its generosity of spirit and fascinating in its portrayal of a culturally diverse neighborhood.
