From the "Guide Verdesi" Series

"A Week in Rome:
A New Guide to Rome & Its Environs"

95 Illustrations, 7 Maps & 1 Plan of City
Published by Enrico Verdesi

This is a wonderful vintage travel book, translated into English, describing the city of Rome and its wonders in the years immediately following World War II.

There are more than 90 photographs documenting post-War Rome and the Vatican's historic monuments, palaces, fountains, museums, and art and archaeological treasures, some of which have been lost, damaged or destroyed in the 52 years since this Guide was published.

The book also covers areas outside of Rome proper, including Ostia Antica and the Lido at Ostia, the Alban Hills and the Castelli Romani, Tivoli, Anzio, Nettuno, the Etruscan ruins at Cerveteri, Palestrino, and more.

There are also alphabetical lists of the monuments and the artists, a brief history of Rome, and a special chapter on the notable activities of "Englishmen and Americans in Rome" over the centuries.

This would make a wonderful addition to your vintage travel and exploration library!
