Having just returned from Rome, I fell across this title online.The book is FABULOUS. The history is wonderful (wish I had read the book before our trip). We wandered down this street and ate lunch in a trattoria there after visiting St. Peters. The drawings are exceptional. Regarding the Borgo Pio will be a coffee table book in our home.Will go back to Rome, with this book in hand, and spend hours walking the area. So much more there than nice little restaurants!After hitting the "highlights - must do" things in Rome, there are so many other ways to spend days there.
