Palazzi of Rome presents the most magnificent Roman villas and palaces. Brilliant photographs capture the atmosphere of the buildings in their full grandeur and exquisiteness. They lead readers past decorated façades and guide them through elegant halls and artfully arranged gardens. The texts explain how closely the history of the famed dynasties―the Borgheses, Farneses, Colonnas, Corsinis, and other old families―is intertwined with their ancestral seats, and how for centuries the higher Roman nobility designed their palaces in the City of Cities as fitting reflections of their own glory. This competition for the most magnificent residence led to the construction of many of the city’s most famous palazzi, which are still today among the unmistakable hallmarks of Rome.

Marshall Field built the largest department store in the world at the time, and his architect Daniel Burnham, following Field's dictum "dazzle the customer with opulence," created a store unmatched in elegance. Influenced by the Florentine palazzi of the Renaissance, Beaux-Arts monumentalism, and the Chicago School, the exterior of Marshal Field's radiated a luxury that only hinted at the elegance inside. An extravagantly beautiful Louis Tiffany tesserae dome poured light onto all who entered; a soaring balcony allowed women to see and be seen. Field's was as close to a temple of commerce as any building has ever come. Jay Pridmore is an architectural historian who has written widely about the people and ideas behind the building of Chicago. His 1993 book Chicago Architecture and Design, coauthored with George Larson, is one of the city's most popular books about local architecture.

If you approach Venice by way of the lagoon, the city appears to be as homogenous as a single building. But as soon as you step into its shadowy alleys, you will be captivated by the architectural finesse of the palazzi, churches, and private residential palaces where the eye is drawn to the dazzling stylistic variety of Moorish window arches adjacent to balconies in Venetian Gothic and severe Renaissance facades. This volume offers detailed insight into the broad spectrum of architecture, sculpture, and painting of the city on the lagoon. The authors chronologically progress through the stages of Venetian art history from the thirteenth to the eighteenth centuries. More than 650 illustrations document the eventful artistic development of this exceptional city, whose monuments have been largely preserved until today.

Rome’s splendid antiquities and glorious historic palazzi are justly famous, but there’s a buzzing modern metropolis beneath the history that’s well worth getting to know.

Time Out Rome charts the ups and downs of this contradictory city. With the help of local journalists, writers and experts, the Rome City Guide takes you beyond the iconic and into places where locals work, play and indulge, sampling the full extent of its monuments, museums and galleries, and the best of its eating, shopping and carousing.Key featuresWritten by an unrivalled network of local experts to give visitors the very best city experience Chapters are arranged by area with colour coding and a local map for each section, helping readers navigate the guide and the city with easeHundreds of hand-picked restaurants, cafes and bars that have been visited and reviewed anonymously by critics who pay their own wayA range of magazine-style feature articles really help readers get a feel for the local vibe, main attractions and brilliant itinerariesIncludes a pull-out city map to help visitors navigate their way between the sights

In An Italian Journey, Jean Giono describes his journey to the land of his father's people. A reluctant traveler (he rarely left Provence), Giono discovers a strange beauty not only in the palazzi and canals of Venice but also in wistful waiters, suspicious hairdressers, pugnacious men of God, recalcitrant coffeemakers, umbrellas, and field machinery. In Giono's world a stamp collectors' market can appear to verge on revolution and inept municipal musicians suddenly offer Mozartian joys.

Fiorenza Cedolins, Sonia Ganassi, Jose Bros, Mirco Palazzi, Marco Caria, and Pervin Chakar star in this Teatro La Fenice production of the Donizetti opera conducted by Fabrizio Maria Carminati.

As well as all the glories of Rome, this handsomely illustrated guide explores neighborhood markets, tiny parks, convents, traditional Jewish restaurants, the treasures of fading palazzi, and of museums to be visited at night. It leads you down narrow cobbled streets as charming as in any small provincial town. It tells you where to row a boat, visit waxworks, see a talking statue, or buy a handbag. It will lead you to the most beautiful views, the most spectacular mosaics, and the very finest coffee. Use this guide, arranged around 10 walks, to explore beyond the familiar tourist sites to discover the living city and the layers of its glorious past.

This fascinating narrative of English pilgrims and pilgrimages to Rome from Saxon times to the present day acts as a packed gazetteer of the material trqaces of the English in Rome, enabling the reader to track their presence through the city's monuments, churches and palazzi, and to use the stones and inscriptions of Rome and its environs to recover a sometimes forgotten but enlightening story. Judith Champ teaches Church History at Oscott College, Birmingham.
