Case di Roma. Living in Rome

The series of collectors' book is enriched with a new volume for those who appreciate beauty and love their city. After Case di Torino, Case di Genova, Case di Milano and Case di Portofino / Living in Portofino, Case di Roma is the latest title relased. This is not just a book on Roman palaces, and it is not even a book on architect-designed houses, all recently finished, despite their ingenious solutions. No, this is a book about the different ways of living in Rome, about contact with (or without) its centuries-old remains, inside or outside its fascinating (and fatiguing) historic centre, in family palaces or in buildings of more recent construction - with their renowned flower-filled terraces yielding stunningly beautiful views - either immersed in the vegetation of green areas that the city still unexpectedly offers, or enclosed between tiny streets flanked by flaking walls oozing history. Family houses or house-studios, historic residences or contemporary open spaces, homes for collectors or exclusive retreats for artists, homes for those born in Rome or for those who have adopted Rome: because whoever discovers the heart of this city, those not frightened away by the hordes of tourists that flock here every year, cannot but fall in love with it and want to remain here, to live in it and to live it, creating a bond that is unique in the world, that no other city can offer.
A photographer's skilful eye and a journalist's curious pen were welcomed into twenty houses and through their expressive mediums have revealed the private sphere and most hidden and surprising corners of these homes.
