Product Description
Behind the heroic, historic facades of Rome lies an intimate world that is rarely seen by outsiders. Private Rome offers a colorful insider's view of the city's vibrant inner sanctums. Here are studios of artists and designers; classical, baroque, and modern apartments; extravagant villas and palazzi; the homes of leading art collectors; and gardens. For everyone enchanted by the ancient aura, the venerable architecture, and the legendary life of the Eternal city, Private Rome reveals the personal style of those who are privileged to live there.
