The most comprehensive anthology of writings by visitors to the
eternal city ever compiled – witty, profound and endlessly
entertaining. Drawing on French, Italian, Spanish, English, German,
Scandinavian and American sources, Ronald Ridley has compiled a
vivid collage-portrait of Rome through the centuries, illustrated
with three hundred images and published in three elegant volumes:
The Middles Ages to the Seventeenth Century, The Eighteenth Century
and The Nineteenth Century. Presented here is the third volume. How
did visitors arrive? Where did they stay? What were their expenses?
What did they see of churches, palaces, villas and antiquities?
What did they like or dislike of what they saw? What did they think
of Rome in all its contemporary facets? What events did they
witness? What portraits do they provide of people in Rome at the
time of their visit? Excerpts from memoirs by more than two hundred
visitors give a myriad fascinating insights and together provide a
detailed account of Rome over nearly a millennium.
