Termini
Cornerstone of Modern Rome
Together with friend & colleague Frederick Whitling, I wrote a book on the curious history of Rome's central train station, Stazione Termini: a truly remarkable building that symbolizes the strange marriage between ancient and modern in the Eternal City.
“Un libro bellissimo”
“This book is essential reading and looking for anyone interested in Rome.”
“Impressive research ... with a lively narrative plot ... told with intelligence and verve.”
“Splendid narrative, extremely interesting and very rich.”
Salvatore Settis, one of Italy's leading intellectuals, wrote a frontpage review of the book in Il Sole 24 Ore.
And the Somali-Italian writer Igiaba Scego recommended the book in The New York Times:
