Rome: Portrait of a City / Portrat einer Stadt / Portrait d'une ville Hardcover – January 26, 2018

Great book. Tons of history. But big.

Good book

beautiful coffee table book. We look through it often and reminisce about our trip to Italy.

Beautiful coffee table book. It's substantial in size and has beautiful, every day photos of life in Italy. I'm so pleased. A side note: I am glad I went through it before placing it on the table, because I ended up tearing out a page from a nightclub where a woman is surrounded by men, sprawled on the floor half covering her naked chest with her arm. This one page was not appropriate material for a family book- in my opinion.Otherwise a wonderful book. I'm so happy to have it in my home.

Best one volume collection of photos of Rome you’ll find anywhere. Includes stunning and originalperspectives of Roman architecture, urban culture, and people. Pore over it before or after visiting Rometo help spot and remember “don’t miss” places not always covered in standard travel guides. Superb quality paper and printing.Only possible drawback: so large and heavy a volume that you will need a table or stand to enjoy. Too much for your lap.

Really like this book, excellent pictures of Rome

Superb edition -just wished it contained more pictures of inter-war Rome and also of the Via Veneto in the 1950s -a bit too many takes of the Forum, on the other hand.

For a book called "ROME, Portrait of a City" it contains very few photos of the city itslef. This book for sure does not portray the magnificent city Rome is. Yes, the book is big and heavy, yes it has a lot of pictures (not very good quality by the way), but most of them are of people that easily could be elswhere. I would say 10% of the pictures, if not less, are even worth looking at. I do not reccomend this purchase to anyone, and if you want a good book of Rome, this is definitely not it, the title is so deceiving, and at a very high price for what it is. So sorry, but in fact, this is the first Taschen book that disappoints me.
