Walking in Rome
I was born and raised in Rome, Italy. After marrying an
American, we settled in Rome for several years, but later moved to the US. I
thought I knew Rome pretty well, but as I came back from the US on visits, and
walked around as a tourist, I discovered so many fascinating aspects, besides
the major monuments. Walking as a tourist in my own city led to the idea to
write a book, Walk Rome (available
on iTunes).
We researched by walking its streets, visiting the museums,
monuments and other attractions, recording our observations in order to provide
a tourist an in-depth, in-context understanding of the ancient and modern
surroundings. In fact, there are many interesting things to see as you walk
from one major attraction to the next. This blog will show some of the lesser
known, intriguing, charming and curious sights of the Eternal City. Come along
as we explore Rome a little at a time. Historical, artistic and amusing facts will
abound.
