Following the accepted fall of the Roman Empire (476/480), how much of the old Roman systems and structures (i.e the senatorial class) remained in and around Rome in the centuries which followed - and for how long?

I've read some books which suggest that until Belisarius' reconquest which devastated mainland Italy, life in Rome wasn't very different under the Ostrogoths than it had been before. There's also the Pirenne Thesis by Henri Pirenne which suggests the end of the Roman way of life was due to the end of Mediterranean trade following the Arab conquests. Is there any merit to these claims?
