Description
by Jean-François LeJeune (Author)
Rome, the"Eternal City", is a unique palimpsest dating back to Antiquity.
However, beyond the historic center built over millennia on the famous seven
hills - another Rome exists, one of large and often stunning modern
neighborhoods, housing estates, schools, and public buildings. When Rome became
Italy's capital in 1871, the population increased extensively and the city
exceeded its boundaries since Roman times, the Aurelian Walls. This
extraordinary transformation laid the foundation for many new quarters built to
accommodate civil servants and rural migrants, drawing on vernacular and
ancient Roman traditions and blending past and present. This book looks at
Rome's evolution and architecture from the 19th century onwards, embodying a
kind of "Splendid Ordinary" - a journey that is full of discoveries.
