Rome Through the Mist: Walks Among the Fountains of the Eternal
City invites readers to join Joe Gartman, long-time culture
columnist for Italia! Magazine, on a journey among 80 of Rome's
celebrated fountains, to 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 vividly described
walk, enhanced with colorful, subtly revealing photographs of Roman
life. Every fountain in Rome tells a story; every story is about
Rome: her history, her legends, and her extraordinary people, from
poets to popes, artists to models, architects to emperors. Every
street, piazza, wall and garden that contains a fountain has a past
worth knowing. You are invited to follow the paths in this book,
with 15 different turn-by-turn walking tours, 17 maps, and 182
photos. There are plenty of hints, too, about things to see and
experience along the way, especially the matchless artistic
treasures that await behind unexpected doors. In your armchair or
on your feet, journey from Trevi's torrents to the Naiad's naughty
nymphs; from the quiet basins in Piazza San Simeone to Bernini's
mighty Four Rivers in Piazza Navona; from the Dark Fountains in
Villa Borghese to the charming lionesses in Piazza del Popolo; and
listen to the voices of the waters.
