Walk Rome is designed to assist tourists who want to explore the Eternal City on their own at their own pace. The tourist center of Rome has been divided into seven manageable parts. After a brief overview, each walk has a main map that shows the recommended route to reach each of the suggested attractions. As one follows the route, timely information is provided about interesting shops, exhibits, good restaurants, wine bars, pubs, museums, and ice cream places.Historic events of the last 3000 years, curiosities and unusual facts are described in shaded boxes scattered throughout the book. Flexibility of action is encouraged for an unforgettable vacation with fantastic days and enchanting evenings.
Carlo Mignani was born and raised in Rome, Italy. He and his American wife, Betsy, settled in Rome for several years, but later moved to the US. On many visits back to Rome, Carlo found himself walking the city as a tourist, and, not satisfied with the available guidebooks, he decided to write a more varied and interesting one.Betsy Schad Mignani married Carlo Mignani and lived in Rome for many years. She enjoyed participating in this effort to bring a personal, detailed description of the many wonderful things to see in Rome.
