Description

A photographic book on the ancient traditions that live on in the Eternal City.

This book of beautiful photographs is not only a fine publication but also a significant contribution to the rediscovery, appreciation, and safeguarding of Rome's precious heritage. The atmosphere evoked by the images at the heart of the volume revives the memory of a Rome that, in many ways, no longer exists: a humble, authentic, working-class Rome, inhabited by artists and craftsmen with talented hands and passionate hearts; a city immortalised in the movies of directors such as Vittorio De Sica, Federico Fellini, and Pier Paolo Pasolini.

The photographs in Roma: Resilient Tradition offer a captivating glimpse into a bygone era, preserving the spirit and resilience of the traditions that continue to breathe life into the Eternal City today.
