The founding of Rome is linked to a long-standing myth involving a god, a she-wolf and a fraternal fracture, and its story has continued with an even greater intrigue, which manifests itself throughout the city, in all its grandeur. Rome is rightly called the Eternal City, with an endless list of places to visit: the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon. But Rome is not just a museum that shows its past greatness; there is also a modern Rome waiting to be discovered in its cocktail bars, art galleries and nightlife. Although Milan may have all the sartorial glory, Rome is a fashion capital in its own right, with the headquarters of Fendi, Valentino, Brioni and Bulgari, just to name a few. With a foreword by Assouline's Italian expert, Cesare Cunaccia, and photos of Martine and Prosper Assouline's travels to Rome, this book brings to life the personal aspects of the city, highlighting the quieter moments found in quaint alleys and family-run taverns. From the heart of a gladiator to the masterpieces of Cinecittà, from the roar of the crowd at the Olympic Stadium to the appetizing taste of handmade pasta, the infinite wonders of Rome are not only experienced, but perceived through the pages of Eternal Rome. Board a cherry-red Vespa and ride into the sunset in the manner of Roman Holiday to fall in love with this wonderful metropolis.
