Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

A guide for all who want to be inspired as well as informed; for poets and pilgrims seeking the spiritual roots of Rome --Gian Carlo Menotti, composer

The way this book narrates, explains, informs, and the way that all of this at the same time helps from a practical point of view, is marvellous --Welt Am Sonntag

Unanimously hailed as exceptional --Neue Zürcher Zeitung

A guide that will take you to the heart of this city of wonders --Fancesco Cossiga, former President of Italy

Practicality is the password of this book but it can also be read as a beautiful book on the Eternal City --Corriere della Sera

Will help you to a profound grasp of Rome in a short time --Il Messaggero

Easy to use, comprehensive and never boring --Il Giornale

This is a very detailed guide, extremely easy to carry and consult while on foot, is the ticket for intense planning and touring --Booklist

A book not only for people visiting Rome for the first time but also those who find themselves bewildered by the city's sheer complexity, this is an utterly reliable and accessible companion, comprehensive in scope, which brings the staggering riches of the eternal city to vivid life --Seven, Telegraph

Well written...fascinating stuff, even if you never leave your study. They style is superbly idiosyncratic --The Sunday Times

Handsomely produced and illustrated --Country Life

Reseña del editor:

Now in its fourth Italian edition and second German edition, this incomparable guide to Rome is now published in English, in a fully updated and newly illustrated edition. Written by one of Italy's most distinguished journalists, it combines vivid, engaging description and background with great practicality and comprehensive information. From the foreword 'This book is both for people who have not visited Rome and for those whose efforts to understand it have been frustrated by its sheer complexity. Although good for visits of any length, it is especially helpful for people with only a few days to spend in Rome. Also, this book is for everybody, from the ignoramus to the connoisseur. A short visit does not mean a short guidebook! On the contrary, a guide rich in easily digestible information can make a short stay much more meaningful. This book differs from standard guidebooks in three major ways: You can read large portions before seeing the sights. It is broken into realistically timed, carefully organized itineraries. But you can also customize them according to your own particular needs and length of stay. Sections that aren't essential are marked as optional and you can skip them without compromising your aim of mastering 'basic' Rome. Each Walk has a theme. This helps you appreciate the sights, remember the information, and orient yourself.' At the same time this is probably the most comprehensive reference guide to Rome available, making it ideal for any traveller looking for their own routes around the city. Full indexes, including a biographical dictionary of artists make this information highly accessible, and hundreds of maps and diagrams make orientation foolproof. The book is completed with 32 pages of colour and 150 b/w illustrations. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
