Classic guide to Rome. 2009 edition, thoroughly revised and updated. Six years after his first, very thorough, revision, John Fort has returned to the task, so that this long-honoured guidebook, regarded by the discerning visitor, since its first publication forty years ago, as THE indispensable introduction to the glories of Rome, continues to give an accurate picture of the city's treasures as they are currently displayed. This latest edition of the Guide is immeasurably enhanced by the replacement of the old street planswith new, clear versions of the itineraries that structure a volume which remains the unrivalled guide to perhaps the most beautiful and historic city in the world. John Fort, who has lived in the city for the past thirty years, walked every step of the routes described so vividly by Georgina Masson, and many more besides. In addition to checking and updating the information she provided so inimitably, he uncovered and describes a wealth of sights which slipped her notice, and accompanies the visitor through all the major museums and galleries as now arranged. The result is a guide to that incomparable array of classical, Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces which willenthral first-time visitors to the Eternal City and also delight the persistent returnee with fresh inspiration and stimulation.

This is the best Guide to Rome I have come across. What Georgina Masson gives is the flavor and taste of the sites she describes. Her descriptions draw you in to the places and events and you want to see more. My experience with this guide was to go to a particular place, observe, go home to read about it in the 'Companion Guide to Rome' and then go back again to the same place and see it all in a different light. This guide does not overdo the historical facts. It gives you enough to understand, and want to know more. For me, this is the beauty of this Guide.
