Synopsis

This book is an instructive travel guide to Rome, one of the world's most historic and beautiful cities. First published in the early 1800s by renowned Roman engraver Mariano Vasi, this new edition offers detailed information for travelers seeking to appreciate the city's architecture, painting, and sculptures. Vasi, a member of the Etruscan Academy of Cortona, begins with a brief history of Rome and its landmarks. He then divides the book into eight 'day' itineraries, where he guides readers through the main attractions of each area. The author's firsthand expertise and passion for his subject make this a compelling and informative guide. Vasi's commentary provides depth, revealing the stories behind each sight, and explaining the creative inspiration and processes of the artists who adorned Rome's churches and palaces. This book is an excellent resource for travelers seeking to experience the Eternal City's artistic and historical treasures.
