Going to Rome? Do it differently than the mass tourists. Patty Civalleri shows you how to visit the capital of Italy while going slower (not faster), avoiding the crowds, staying cool, and getting to know its true heart. If you have been to Rome before, Patty will take you deeper by showing you hundreds of other sites that were left behind by the Romans. Most guides focus only on 6 or 7 sites, but Patty has discovered hundreds of exciting, compelling, photographically rich sites that even repeat visitors will be enthralled with.

You've already done 'tourist' Rome, now let Patty Civalleri take you deeper into the good, the bad, and the beautiful Eternal City.
 
 
A Non-Traditional Rome Italy Travel Guide 2024:For repeat visitors that want more from Rome, this book will take you deeper than the tourist-mobbed 'top 10 sites'. Go underground to explore the latest archaeological sites to learn more about the Roman Empire. Follow the works of Rome's greatest artists around the city. Discover the Popes that were the most important to the rebuilding of Rome. Then cool off on top of the buildings that have both a cold cocktail and the best views of the city.Your Key to the Ancient City of Rome: Go further than the usual 6 or 7 most known sites and deep-dive into the city that birthed amazing art and history. You'll walk freely through an ancient shopping mall, put your hand in the Mouth of Truth, or explore the ancient Sports Arena under Piazza Navona!No pre-planning necessary: With the included SpiniCity Planning Board, you'll always know where you are and what sites are all around you. Find the number on the map, and turn to that page number in the book to discover the next stops on your walk around the city.On-The-Go Planning:The author included 100+ sites all over Rome that are cleverly indexed so you can plan as you go. The guide includes a SpiniCity Planning Board and a map that has all the sites included in the book. You can take a chance and spin the board to see what site you'll visit, or take a look at the map if you're not sure where to go next. No more pre-planning needed.Skillfully Organised: The travel book is color-coded and organized so you can connect the dots and experience jaw-dropping 'AHA!' moments everywhere you go. It also includes a bookmark with 100 sticky tabs to help keep your days organized. You'll have everything you need to discover Rome.Note from the Author: Using my background in world history and archaeology, I dove deeply into Rome and honed its incredible story into this one little book. In fact, I have also created similar books for both Florence as well as Venice. Something that is very important to me as a writer is that none of my books were written to adhere to any particular template, as is so common in today's travel books. I wanted each city to tell me how its book should be written, and to dictate the format of that book.

Title: Fantastic Book
Review: This book contains a wealth of knowledge. I’ve been investigating Rome for a future trip and thought I knew about a majority of the sites, but boy I was so wrong! There is so much more than the standard popular sites! This book gave me so many ideas of astounding sites that are now a must see on my list. My favorite was how the book showed you how the sites might have actually looked and superimposed them on the sites today. Wonderful book!

Title: Best ever
Review: I have used many travel guides - standards like Rick Steves or the DK Eyewitness guides. I have been in Rome previously. This is by far the best guide I have ever purchased. I am not interested in the gimmicky wheel but the map and list of sights is great. I especially like the sections on where to find the art by various artists. The history and lists of rulers are concise - I have never seen in a brief history a comprehensive list of all Roman rulers. I have also purchased the guides to Florence and Venice which are equally excellent. The photographs are outstanding.

Title: Very fun book...unfortunately, some info now outdated!
Review: I enjoyed using this book to plan out an itinerary for a 5 day trip to Rome. The descriptions and the photos are great. Some things are already outdated - for example, it is now 5 euros to get into the Largo di Torre di Argentina -but it's worth it! And the cats are still there! And the Crypta Balbi appeared to be temporarily closed. Another item I would have appreciated would have been a more accurate map OR a description of how to find a location on the page with the description. Just suggestions for the next edition, perhaps! Overall, it was a very fun tool for getting around to see sights I otherwise wouldn't have known about.

Title: not fodors
Review: this is not fodors, and did not help us to prepare for our trip to Rome. if I want to know about ALL the popes, which I am the least bit interested in, I'll use wiki. I'm sending the book back for a full refund.
