SynopsisH.V. Morton's evocative account of his days in 1950s Rome--the fabled era of La Dolce Vita--remains an indispensable guide to what makes the Eternal City eternal. In his characteristic anecdotal style, Morton leads the reader on a well-informed and delightful journey around the city, from the Fontana di Trevi and the Colosseum to the Vatican Gardens loud with exquisite birdsong. He also takes time to consider such eternal topics as the idiosyncrasies of Italian drivers as well as the ominous possibilities behind an unusual absence of pigeons in the Piazza di San Pietro. As TourismWorld.com commented recently: "H.V. Morton.. . .wrote of Rome with style, involvement, and passion. His book In Search of Rome is perhaps the definitive guide book on the Eternal City.", H.V.

Forty years on!
I spent my 20th birthday in Rome (where I lived for a month) with HVM as my guide. I could not have had a better one. I found that now I have online sources reading his books is even better if you cannot actually be there! Lots of wonderful images are now available.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
