For many years Filippo Coarelli’s books have been the essential guides to the classical remains and topography of Rome. Now available for the first time in English, Rome and Environs includes not only Coarelli’s ‘magisterial’ Roma but also the relevant chapters from his Italia Centrale and Dintorni di Roma to provide the perfect companion not only to the city, but to the many classical monuments along the roads that lead to it. Arranged as a series of walking tours Rome and Environs provides exhaustive background information on the great sights, as well as on important remains that even most Romans barely realise exist.
