This is Rome

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In this book, Sasek does a superb job of presenting the Eternal City as it might appear to a young tourist.

It is portrayed as a kaleidoscopic array of strange and fascinating sights, with its gaily garbed theological students, whizzing Vespas, and imposing relics of antiquity.

All of these elements combine to make Rome unlike any other city in the world.

This is Rome captures the essence and unique charm of the city beautifully.
