Roma desordenada

Rome allows us to be voyeurs of our own history. From the tombs of the Etruscans to the worldly Via Veneto, from Nero to Pasolini, passing through Caravaggio, Bernini, Borromini and Winckelmann -with a Spanish scale in Alberti, Zambrano or Gaya-, this is a book that sets out to put the stones back together of an eternal masonry to tell it all again of the city that knows everything. A maddening mission, jumping from century to century, with one eye on the Roma urbi and another on the Roma orb, one on the relics of the saints and another on the naked torsos of the statues, one on the confusion and one on the Calm down, on a trip through the city where, as in Noah's ark, all the stories of history have been saved, and which is the culminating demonstration that human beings have known beauty.
