The children's book "Rome" by Miroslav Sasek takes young readers on a journey into the fascinating world of the Italian capital. With loving illustrations and an inviting writing style, the story of Rome comes to life. Readers learn about impressive ancient sites such as the Roman Forum and the Colosseum, while also immersing themselves in the vibrant life of the city in the 1960s. Sasek describes the charming baristas, the cheerful Vespa riders, and the lively scenes in Trastevere. The book not only provides insight into the culture and history of Rome but also into the modern aspects of the city, such as St. Peter's Basilica and the Trevi Fountain. This facsimile edition of the original from 1960 is supplemented with an appendix containing current information about Rome, making it an entertaining and educational read for both children and adults.
