Roma Eterna – A Visual Homage to the Eternal City

Roma Eterna by Assouline, written by renowned journalist James Horncastle with a foreword by Italianist Cesare Cunaccia, is a captivating journey through the soul of Rome – a city whose founding myth involves a god, a she-wolf, and a fraternal rift, and whose history continued with even more intrigue. This exquisite coffee table book presents Rome's grandeur in over 200 stunning photographs, many from Martine and Prosper Assouline's personal travels, bringing the unique facets of the city to life.

While Rome is aptly named the Eternal City, with a never-ending list of must-see landmarks – the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon – this book reveals that Rome is far more than just a museum showcasing its past greatness. It unveils a modern Rome waiting to be discovered in its cocktail bars, art galleries, and nightlife. While Milan may get all the sartorial glory, Rome is a fashion capital in its own right, home to the headquarters of Fendi, Valentino, Brioni, and Bulgari, to name a few.

The pages of this magnificent volume bring the personal facets of the city to life, highlighting the quieter moments found in the quaint alleyways and family-owned osterias. From the heart of a gladiator to the masterpieces of Cinecittà, from the roar of the crowds at Stadio Olimpico to the mouthwatering taste of handmade pasta – the endless wonders of Rome are not only experienced but felt through the pages of Roma Eterna.
