Roads to Rome - Hardcover
This book is a photographic record of a series of journeys made along five of the ancient Roman roads of Italy the Via Appia, which extended from Rome to the great port of Brindisi, thus linking the city with the Orient; Via Cassia to Siena; Via Flaminia to Bologna; Via Aurelia to San Remo; Via Aemelia from Parma to Rimini (where it joined the Via Flaminia). These routes offer a natural framework to a record of the varied regions of Italy and how they have evolved over two thousand years - and an insight into the fusion of old and new that gives Italy its distinctive character. The journeys are rich in evocative contrasts, with the most modern expressions of 21st-century life played out against ancient backdrops. John Heseltine's romantic black and white photographs will appeal to all lovers of Italy.
