Rome: Keys to the Ancient City

by Patty Civalleri

Going to Rome? Do it differently than the mass tourists. Patty Civalleri shows you how to visit the capital of Italy while avoiding the crowds, staying cool, and getting to know its true heart. If you have been to Rome before, Patty will take you deeper by showing you hundreds of other sites that were left behind by the Romans. Most guides focus only on 6 or 7 sites, but Patty has discovered hundreds of exciting, compelling, photographically rich sites that are not talked about by most guides. Do more than eat and drink your way through Rome. While other tourists are battling the mobs and the heat, you ~ Walk freely through an ancient shopping mall ~ Don a hard hat and descend into Nero's Golden Palace ~ Put your hand in the Mouth of Truth ~ Explore the ancient Sports Arena UNDER Piazza Navona ~ Discover where to cool off, get refreshed and avoid the crowds in the Getting High section ~ Visit an erotically beautiful sculpture in a gem of a church ~ Seek out the Monster near the Spanish Steps ~ Discover incredible Day Trips during your stay in Rome ~ Find the neighborhood where Dr. Seuss could have lived ~ and so much more! This is the only book ever published for repeat visitors to Rome. You've already done 'tourist' Rome, now let Patty Civalleri take you deeper into the good, the bad, and the beautiful of Rome's past.

An author that cares about the REAL Rome

This has to be the most useful (and smart!) books about Rome. An author that cares about the REAL Rome, rather than all the commercial stuff that all the other books talk about.
