About the Book

If a standard guidebook has never given you entree to the Rome you seek, let City Secrets unlock the door. See the world's most magnificent art, architecture and antiquities through the eyes of the people who know them best: a renowned painter shows the way to an overlooked masterpiece; an archaeologist walks you through an intriguing ancient ruin; a Renaissance scholar tells which of Michelangelo's works he finds most moving of all. Along the way, a poet laureate shares the address of a gourmet cheese shop with its own pizzeria, and an acclaimed director sets the stage for an ideal Roman afternoon. A unique compilation, City Secrets: Rome is the key to a new kind of travel.

Review :
"The best literary gift to Italian travelers since the Baedeker and Henry James." -- Financial Times "City Secrets Rome is always filled with the kind of information you would get from a friend who had spent years living in the Italian capital ... After using City Secrets Rome, you'll never want to go back to the standard guidebook." -- GQ "This series shows each city through the eyes of those who know it best ... taken together, their recommendations provide travelers with the ultimate insider's tour. They are the hot guide ... Wonderful keepsakes." -- Savvy Traveler, Public Radio International "This idiosyncratic guide helps jaded visitors see the Eternal City anew." -- The New York Times "Escape from the crowds and chaos can be a challenge in Rome, but help comes in the form of City Secrets Rome." -- Condé Nast Traveler "City Secrets Rome] should be everyone's pick to supplement any guide more devoted to the travel basics" -- Barron's "... an extraordinary resource ..." -- Travel and Leisure "Architect Robert Kahn's City Secrets Rome is full of interesting finds, even for those who know Italy well." -- Town & Country
