Synopsis
Walks In Rome by Augustus John Cuthbert Hare. Walks In Rome is a scholarly travelogue describing Rome’s western banks and surrounding hills, especially the Janiculum, Lungara, Trastevere, and adjacent villas, through a sequence of monuments, churches, palaces, gardens, catacombs, vistas, and landscapes. It interlaces antiquarian history, art criticism, and architectural detail to show how centuries of religious, political, and cultural life accumulate in the city’s visible topography. Major sites are surveyed with notes on frescoes, tombs, patronage, and the relationships among artists and patrons—from Raphael and Peruzzi to Canova and Poussin, from Tasso’s death at S. Onofrio to Christina of Sweden’s salon. The book treats the malaria-drenched Campagna as both peril and beauty, and it keeps returning to the tension between ancient ruins and Renaissance/Baroque restorations. It frames palaces and villas as cultural hubs that preserve memory, reward inquiry, and reveal Rome’s layered history through monuments, art, and landscape.
