Looks beyond the tourist facade of Italy's capital. This is the real city of Fellini, Pasolini and countless other major artists who devoted their lives to depicting the grandeur and decadence of this ever fascinating metropolis.
Chiara Stangalino worked for many years for one of Italy's leading publishing houses. She is now a freelance festival organiser, responsible amongst other things for the Courmayeur Noir in Festival literary events and Festarch, the Sardinian architecture festival. She has also directed a documentary film about American crime writer Joe R. Lansdale. She lives in Turin, Italy. Maxim Jakubowski is a British editor and writer. Following a long career in book publishing, during which time he was responsible for several major crime imprints, he opened London's specialist mystery bookshop Murder One. He reviews crime-fiction for The Guardian, runs London's Crime Scene Festival, and is a regular at Italian crime events.
