Classic guide to Rome. 2009 edition, thoroughly revised and
updated. Six years after his first, very thorough, revision, John
Fort has returned to the task, so that this long-honoured
guidebook, regarded by the discerning visitor, since its first
publication forty years ago, as THE indispensable introduction to
the glories of Rome, continues to give an accurate picture of the
city's treasures as they are currently displayed. This latest
edition of the Guide is immeasurably enhanced by the replacement of
the old street planswith new, clear versions of the itineraries
that structure a volume which remains the unrivalled guide to
perhaps the most beautiful and historic city in the world. John
Fort, who has lived in the city for the past thirty years, walked
every step of the routes described so vividly by Georgina Masson,
and many more besides. In addition to checking and updating the
information she provided so inimitably, he uncovered and describes
a wealth of sights which slipped her notice, and accompanies the
visitor through all the major museums and galleries as now
arranged. The result is a guide to that incomparable array of
classical, Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces which willenthral
first-time visitors to the Eternal City and also delight the
persistent returnee with fresh inspiration and stimulation.
This is a new release of the original 1931 edition.
