Rome is one of the most enchanting cities in the world. Blending history, architectural masterpieces, spirituality, great food and warm-hearted people, Rome offers beauty and life quite literally around every corner.
But where to begin? The journey starts with short introductory essays that draw the reader into the poetry of Italian gestures, charming diminutives and local gastronomy that delight both the eye and the palate. From there, the book offers 16 different routes, each of which the author repeatedly explored. These paths lead to famous landmarks, but more importantly to lesser-known and unique spots—wine bars, cafés, cinemas, squares, hidden corners, shop windows and churches.
Rome: Beauty at Every Turn is not a typical tourist guide overflowing with facts and historical timelines. Instead, it captures the city’s distinctive, lively atmosphere and inspires visits to places travellers might otherwise miss. Marcel Sauer spent four years in Rome, getting to know the Italian capital inside and out.
The book also features numerous photographs, a glossary of beautiful words, a curated selection of the very best that Rome has to offer—and even a recipe for perfect spaghetti carbonara.
