This beautifully written, informative study is a portrait, a story, and an exceptional guide, fully capturing the enchanting beauty and multifaceted past of the Eternal City. It covers 3,000 years of history from the almost mythical origins of the city, through the Etruscan kings, the molten glory of classical Rome, the decline and fall of the Middle Ages, to the beauty and corruption of the Renaissance, up to its era in the heart of Mussolini's fascist Italy.

Exploring the streets and buildings of the city, inhabited by popes, gladiators, emperors, nobles, and peasants, this volume describes the tumultuous and dramatic history of Rome in all its debauchery and grandeur.
