This woman lived through fascist Italy and everything that came after, and then says this about the way the world is going.

I have a feeling she would have said that 10, 20, 30, and 40 years ago, too.
But she's probably not wrong. Over the course of her life, the US has gone from mostly farm communities which for good or bad have long-standing social networks, to mostly atomized people in cities. We've also gotten incredibly richer as a society, but we don't know each other. If you don't know each other, who can you rely on? I assume that something similar applies to Italy.
Reading the writing on the wall perhaps.
In Soviet Russia, Rome is a poor city I guess
Sorry, I don't quite understand what this means, can you help?
Russia seems poised to invade Europe in the near future. If they do, and succeed, Rome could become part of the new Soviet Union(which Putin has explicitly said he wants to bring back)
Once that happens, it's likely to lead to poverty. At least that's what happened in the last USSR
