Synopsis
No list of words, however long, could describe every facet of Rome: a city of art, politics, history, government, amusement, Catholicism, wealth, poverty... For Rome and the Romans, nothing is impossible. It is far from easy to find another city that encloses such a plethora of art treasures, picturesque views, appealing lifestyles. No wonder that over centuries and millennia Rome has been a focal point of attention, time and time again... ever since the days when a small settlement started on its long and unstoppable march to the role of caput mundi, the most prominent city of the ancient world, a metropolis of pomp and splendour, subsequently the centre of Christendom and today the fulcrum of Italian political life. This book is a tribute to a city that is and always will be unique and, for better or for worse, fears no contenders to its throne. Beautifully illustrated, with many colour photographs throughout the book.
