Summary:

"This study has grown out of several long standing scholarly interests and personal enthusiasms. First and foremost is my devotion to Rome, not just the ancient city of the classicists and archaeologists, but medieval, early modern, and modern Rome. Much of that fascination comes from the fact that Rome is not a museum, but a living, dynamic city, shaped, informed, and constrained by its past, but never subservient to it"-- Provided by publisher.
