Not Built in a Day presents twelve "walking tours" that cover 200 sites and move beyond the traditional guidebook by being a more personal and instructive text on Rome’s piazzas, streets, outdoor fountains, ancient ruins, and famous buildings. Where other guides shy away from expressing a strong personal viewpoint, the author doesn't hesitate to voice his opinion. He includes detailed analyses that will help readers see why so many of Rome’s buildings and monuments are considered architecturally important. This book creates an interactive process between the reader, the text, and the architectural style — a repeated cycle of reading-looking-comprehending that in the end leads the reader not only to appreciate the buildings and monuments of Rome, but to enjoy architecture in general. |

“One lifetime is not enough for Rome,” the famous saying goes, and anyone who’s ever been there knows these words to be true. In City of the Soul, William Murray begins to show us why.
Growing up in Rome and spending much of his life in the city, William Murray is an expert guide as he takes us on an intimate walking tour of some of Rome’s most glorious achievements, illuminating the history and the mythology that define the city. Murray leads us through the centro, the city’s historic downtown center. He writes about the Villa Borghese, the Piazza di Spagna, and the Trevi Fountain and describes such singular attractions as the Capuchin Church of Santa Maria della Concezione, whose macabre crypt has impressed visitors from Mark Twain to the Marquis de Sade.
As he walks, he reveals stories that only a longtime resident would know, capturing the sights, sounds, and flavors that make Rome a combination of the deep past and the ever-sensual present. |
