Echoes of antiquity haunt the busy streets, and the interweaving of past and present has, sirn-like, drawn artists, writers, historians and poets since time immemorial. Arranged in a series of ten walks, the book focuses on the varying responses authors of eleven different nationalities have had to Rome over the course of the past 2000 years.

Henry James and Henrik Ibsen, Stendhal and Goethe, Virginia Woolf and Oscar Wilde are only a few of those who have written with passion about Rome, and through their words we rediscover the grandeur of the vistas, the intimacy of its streets and markets, and the fascination of its monuments
