We would like to thank the librarians, editors, curators, archologists and others who helped make this book possible. Priceless technical assistance came from Diana Abrashkin, AIA, of Boston, and archologist Marina Piranomonte of Romes Sovrintendenza alle Belle Arti. For their advice and help we are indebted to Robert Bernstein, former chairman of Random House; Professor Jane Ginsburg of Columbia University; Mario Gori-Sassoli of Romes Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica; the late Hans Heinrich Coudenhove-Kalergi of London; Cheryl Hurley of the Library of America; Inge Heckel of the New York Academy of Interior Design; and Mark Piel of the New York Society Library.
We owe a special debt to the late historian and archologist Cesare DOnofrio of Rome for sharing his profound love and scholarly knowledge of his city with us, and to the Biblioteca Hertziana for generously making available to us the wonderful photographs of Rome that Mr. DOnofrio took over the years, and which appear (many of them for the first time) throughout this book.
Finally we wish to thank friends and family who patiently listened to our endless prattle about Rome and cheered us on, among them Carlo Fruttero, the late Franco Lucentini, Baroness Olga von Kollar, John and Mary Gibbons, Prince Carlo Massimo, Robert and Dina McCabe, Paul and Chantal Cannon, David Olan, Dotty Attie, Sarah Schulte and so many others it would take another book to list them all.
We are grateful to readers who alert us of errors in the book, or provide other useful information or suggestions to help improve and update it. Write us c/o the publisher or by e-mail to We will do our best to reply to everyone.
How this book works
I bought some maps and books on Rome and would read them in the evening, putting the information I thus acquired to use the next day when I toured the city; this way I soon made myself so thoroughly a master of the matter, I could have guided my guide.
Montaigne, Voyage en Italie, 1581
This book is both for people who have not visited Rome and for those whose efforts to understand it have been frustrated by the citys sheer complexity. Although good for visits of any length, it is especially helpful for people with only a few days to spend in Rome. 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. Also, this book is for everybody, from the ignoramus to the connoisseur. This book differs from standard guidebooks in three major ways:
