Eternal Rome

The founding of Rome is tied to an ancient myth involving a god, a she-wolf, and sibling rivalry, and its story continued with even more intrigue—a legacy on display throughout the city in all its splendor. Rome is rightfully called the Eternal City , with a never-ending list of must-see sights: the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon. But Rome isn't just a museum showcasing its past grandeur; there's also a modern Rome waiting to be discovered in its cocktail bars, art galleries, and nightlife.

With a foreword by Assouline’s Italy expert, Cesare Cunaccia, and photographs from Martine and Prosper Assouline’s own trips to Rome, this book brings to life the most personal aspects of the city, highlighting the most intimate moments found in its picturesque alleyways and family-run osterias . From the heart of a gladiator to the masterpieces of Cinecittà, from the roars of the crowd at the Olympic Stadium to the irresistible taste of handmade pasta, the wonders of Rome are not just seen, they are felt through the pages of Eternal Rome .

Hop on a cherry-red Vespa and drive off into the sunset Roman Holiday- style, and fall in love with this wonderful metropolis.
