Rome Through the Mist: Walks Among the Fountains of the Eternal City, Joe Gartman, Patricia Gartman

Join Joe Gartman, culture columnist for Italia! Magazine, on a journey among 80 of Rome’s celebrated fountains, and find a more intimate way of experiencing the Eternal City.  On foot with book in hand, or simply in imagination, each chapter takes readers on a vivid walk, enhanced with colourful, revealing photographs of Roman life. Every fountain in Rome tells a story, and every story is about Rome: her history, her legends, and her extraordinary people – poets and popes, artists and models, architects and emperors, saints and sinners.

So discover the paths in this book, with 15 different turn-by-turn walking tours, 17 maps, and 182 full-color photos.  Journey from Trevi’s torrents to the Naiad’s naughty nymphs, and from the quiet basins in Piazza San Simeone to Bernini’s mighty Four Rivers.  Or perhaps find a secret fountain where tourists rarely go, and listen to the voices of the waters.
