Description:I’ve been the “Fast Culture” columnist for Italia! Magazine for more than 12 years. My book, Rome Through the Mist: Walks Among the Fountains of the Eternal City invites readers to join me on a journey among 80 of Rome’s celebrated fountains, to find a more intimate way of experiencing the Eternal City. On foot with book in hand, or simply in imagination, each chapter takes readers on a vividly described walk, enhanced with Patricia’s colorful, subtly revealing photographs of Roman life. Every fountain in Rome tells a story; every story is about Rome: her history, her legends, and her extraordinary people, from poets to popes, artists to models, architects to emperors. Every street, piazza, wall and garden that contains a fountain has a past worth knowing. You are invited to come with me on 15 different step-by-step walking tours, enhanced with 17 maps and 181 photos. While I don't offer advice on where to stay or where to eat, there are plenty of hints about things to see and experience, especially the matchless artistic treasures and historic insights that await in unexpected places along the way. In your armchair or on your feet, journey from Trevi’s torrents to the Naiad’s naughty nymphs; from the quiet basins in Piazza San Simeone to Bernini’s mighty Four Rivers in Piazza Navona; from the Dark Fountains in Villa Borghese to the charming lionesses in Piazza del Popolo, and listen to the voices of the waters.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
