This book is a portrait of a more intimate Rome, different from the great beauty of its famous monuments. It is about a more romantic small beauty that hides in the cobblestone alleys and in the courtyards that only a careful eye can find in the old part of the city. I call this the soft heart of Rome, where you can experience a moment of peace and enjoy the fascinating colours and the light of a more intimate city. I hope these photographs make you want to fly to Rome, at least in your thoughts!
