Riassunto

Explore the vast and ancient city of Rome—from art, architecture, and antiquities, to hidden cafés and gourmet shops—with advice from the people who know it best. City Secrets Rome is a gathering of short, often anecdotal essays written by those who have discovered for themselves the overlooked or underappreciated places in the city we only think we know so well. This illuminating compendium of fascinating information by an all-star lineup of authors, playwrights, filmmakers, actors, songwriters, journalists, historians, architects, chefs, and travel writers is a personal, affectionate account of their favorite lesser-known attractions in the Italian capital. The 250 contributors to this collection include award-winning playwright John Guare; restaurateur Danny Meyer; artist Frank Stella; poet laureate Mark Strand; architects Richard Meier and Michael Graves, as well as many fellows of the American Academy in Rome. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the American Academy in Rome, a center for independent study and advanced research in the arts and humanities.
