Book Details

Writings that illuminate the sacred and secular worlds that make Rome the Eternal City.

This book explores the ruins, churches, villas, piazzas, and sites as if visited by a pilgrim who asks questions and discovers the truth about the Coliseum, the Circus Maximus, the Pantheon, an alchemical door, a famous elephant, Piazza Navona, the arcane, the divine, the hidden, and the mysterious. It is a revelatory excursion into the culture, cuisine, archaeology, and the protean beauty of Rome.
