Travel Guide
Rome
This is a very atmospheric and well evoked city of Rome. There are many streets and bridges in particular so you can pretty much find your way around the city using this book as a guide
“Beyond the Ponte Rottos was Tiber Island, the only island in the river, barely large enough to contain the Basilica di San Bartolomeo all I’Isola with its faded brick belfry, the Church of San Giovanni Calibita and the hospital Ospedale Fatebenefratelli, with its rows of green -shuttered windows. Across from the hospital was Bar GioSport which Marco’s family owned and lived above. Elisabetta lived only a few blocks away from him in Trastevere, the bohemian neighbourhood that she and her father loved.”
