Rome In Detail Revised and Updated Edition

Roma, non basta una vita (Rome, a lifetime is not enough) is a familiar Italian phrase, and one worthy of the city's vast cultural offerings. Rome in Detail is the sophisticated traveler's ultimate guide to walking the Eternal City and is packed with customized tours tailored to insure a full plate of cultural attractions-from the most popular monuments and sites to hidden architectural gems. Detailed maps decode the city's labyrinthine streets and helpful tips on where to stay and what to eat provide visitors with ample information on the best of Rome's hotel and restaurant offerings. Wind your way from the Campo dei Fiori, where each morning a cheerful market infuses the air with the smell of fresh pomodori and radicchio, to a café table on the Piazza Navona with a perfect view of Bernini's 1651 Fountain of the Four Rivers; saunter through the streets until you reach the Pantheon, temple of the Gods, where the tombs of painters Raphael and Annibale Carraci are buried. Among the nine walking tours included in this book are the Roman Forum, Trastevere and Gianicolo, the Vatican, and the Capitoline Hill.Gatti, Claudio is the author of 'Rome In Detail Revised and Updated Edition' with ISBN 9780847831180 and ISBN 0847831183.
