Synopsis
Roba Di Roma by William Wetmore Story. This travelogue by the American author runs through Rome, its Campagna, markets, and ghetto life, blending antiquarian curiosity with social observation. The work, arranged in chapters such as Villeggiatura, The Campagna, Markets, The Ghetto, Field Sports and Races, Fountains and Aqueducts, Births, Baptisms, and Burials, and more, surveys Rome's summer life, rural labour, urban commerce, and the ancient ruins that haunt its landscape. Story reflects on the climate, disease (malaria), agriculture systems under the Papacy, the persistence of old customs, and the tension between modern progress and tradition. He tours villas like Barberini at Palestrina, the Via Latina catacombs, Ostia, and Tivoli, and comments on the Campagna's ruins, ancient aqueducts, and the theater of public life—from market stalls and dances to baptisms and funerals. The work is a richly detailed cultural portrait of 19th-century Rome, combining travel description with historical and ethnographic observations.
