Rome Through the Mist (häftad, eng)

Join Joe Gartman, culture columnist for Italia! Magazine, on a journey among 80 of Rome''s celebrated fountains, and find a more intimate way of experiencing the Eternal City. On foot with book in hand, or simply in imagination, each chapter takes readers on a vivid walk, enhanced with colorful, revealing photographs of Roman life.

Every fountain in Rome tells a story and every story is about Rome: her history, her legends, and her extraordinary people--poets and popes, artists and models, architects and emperors, saints and sinners. Every street, piazza, wall and garden that contains a fountain has a past worth knowing.

Discover the paths in this book, with 15 different turn-by-turn walking tours, 17 maps, and 181 full-color photos.

Journey from Trevi''s torrents to the Naiad''s naughty nymphs and from the quiet basins in Piazza San Simeone to Bernini''s mighty Four Rivers in Piazza Navona; or perhaps find a secret fountain where tourists rarely go, and listen to the voices of the waters.
