To many, Rome is not just a city; it's a timeless fantasy woven into the fabric of human history. It's where the ancient whispers of emperors and gladiators echo through cobblestone streets, where the grandeur of the past meets the vibrancy of the present. For me, it's more than just a destination; it's a deeply cherished home, a place where every corner holds a story waiting to be discovered. Imagine strolling down the narrow alleys of Trastevere, where the aroma of freshly baked bread mingles with the laughter of locals enjoying their evening passeggiata. Each step feels like a journey through time, with every crumbling facade and ivy-covered wall whispering tales of centuries gone by. But Rome isn't just about the past; it's a living, breathing city that thrives on its contradictions. Amidst the ancient ruins, you'll find bustling piazzas alive with the rhythm of modern life. From the majestic beauty of the Colosseum to the lively chaos of Campo de' Fiori, every corner offers a new perspective on this enchanting city. Whether you're drawn to the majesty of the Vatican or the tranquility of Villa Borghese, I'll help you navigate the city with insider tips and recommendations. And while I won't endorse any specific businesses, I'll empower you to make informed choices that enhance your experience without sacrificing authenticity. As a local, I have the privilege of sharing my beloved Rome with visitors, offering glimpses into its rich tapestry of art, culture, and cuisine. While I can't provide a comprehensive guide, I'm here to point you in the direction of hidden gems and must-see landmarks, each with its own unique story to tell. I’ve included QR codes in this guide to make your exploration easier. Simply scan the code, and you'll be directed to a map with precise GPS coordinatesfor each landmark or hidden gem that you can paste right in your Google Maps or other maps app or physical GPS. This way, you can focus on savoring the moment, knowing you won't lose your way. So, let me be your 3-days guide through the labyrinthine streets of Rome, where every turn reveals a new wonder waiting to be explored.

New York Times Bestseller A New York Times Notable Book Named one of the Best Books of the Year by the Wall Street Journal, the Economist, Foreign Affairs, and Kirkus Reviews Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award (Nonfiction) Shortlisted for the Cundill Prize in Historical Literature Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize (History) A San Francisco Chronicle Holiday Gift Guide Selection A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Selection A sweeping, "magisterial" history of the Roman Empire from one of our foremost classicists shows why Rome remains "relevant to people many centuries later" (Atlantic). In SPQR, an instant classic, Mary Beard narrates the history of Rome "with passion and without technical jargon" and demonstrates how "a slightly shabby Iron Age village" rose to become the "undisputed hegemon of the Mediterranean" (Wall Street Journal). Hailed by critics as animating "the grand sweep and the intimate details that bring the distant past vividly to life" (Economist) in a way that makes "your hair stand on end" (Christian Science Monitor) and spanning nearly a thousand years of history, this "highly informative, highly readable" (Dallas Morning News) work examines not just how we think of ancient Rome but challenges the comfortable historical perspectives that have existed for centuries. With its nuanced attention to class, democratic struggles, and the lives of entire groups of people omitted from the historical narrative for centuries, SPQR will to shape our view of Roman history for decades to come.

A love letter to Rome, with beautiful food and location photography, classic recipes, and stories from the heart of the Eternal City. Rome is an open-air museum; it's a modern-day marvel of a city that has seen centuries of emperors, popes, movements, triumphs, and tragedies. It's a city where the present and past sit side by side and interact in a beautiful, yet sometimes complex, kind of way. Rome begs to be uncovered at every turn. Through quirky local stories and glorious pictures, I Heart Rome takes you on an inspiring journey through the Rome that tourists rarely get to see. In a country justifiably famous for its food, Rome boasts its own fascinating and unique cuisine that is intrinsically tied to its history. Influences from Ancient Rome through to more recent events are reflected in the food culture of the Eternal City today. And given the passionate nature of Romans as a people, it's no wonder that dining is taken so seriously. From carbonara recipes to artichoke-frying techniques, just about everything food-related is up for--and causes much--debate in Rome. You too will heart Rome after delving into this book.
