这本内容丰富的罗马摄影肖像集汇集了从19世纪40年代至今的数百张照片，旨在探寻这座无与伦比的文化之都非凡的历史、美丽与艺术。

从棕褐色调、黑白到彩色，这些年代跨度从19世纪40年代至今的杰出影像，让我们得以透过贾科莫·卡内瓦、蓬佩奥·莫林斯、朱塞佩·普里莫利、阿尔弗雷德·艾森施泰特、卡洛·巴瓦尼奥利、亨利·卡蒂埃-布列松、帕斯夸莱·德·安东尼斯、彼得·林德伯格、斯利姆·阿伦斯和威廉·克莱因等摄影师的视角，发现罗马的诸多迷人面貌：它是罗马帝国的中心，是文艺复兴的摇篮之一，是备受游客青睐的目的地，是由形形色色社区构成的多彩拼图，是罗马天主教会的所在地，是政治的舞台，也是电影和时尚拍摄的完美背景。

回溯那些著名的档案资料，书中的一些早期影像为我们提供了一次难得的“大旅行”视角，得以窥见罗马一些最珍贵的地标，展现出几乎没有人群的斗兽场、罗马广场和西班牙台阶。后期的照片则呈现了这座城市的反差——从特权阶层的豪宅与休闲活动，到特拉斯特维莱和泰斯塔西奥工人阶级社区里的街头摊位与晾衣绳。一些纪实风格的照片向我们展示了墨索里尼的黑暗势力，这座城市充斥着他个人的肖像以及象征力量、运动精神和祖国的意象。

随着彩色摄影的出现，这座城市的审美从新现实主义过渡到战后的复苏与享乐主义：费里尼镜头下那些永恒的华丽礼服、异国名人以及威尼托大街的咖啡馆文化。许多知名人士都出现在这里，包括路易斯·阿姆斯特朗、伊丽莎白·泰勒、奥黛丽·赫本、马塞洛·马斯楚安尼、索菲亚·罗兰、皮埃尔·保罗·帕索里尼、安娜·玛格纳尼和华伦天奴。

This bumper photographic portrait of Rome brings together hundreds of photographs from the 1840s through to today to explore the extraordinary history, beauty, and art of this incomparable cultural capital.

From sepia and black and white to color, these outstanding images dating from the 1840s to the present day allow us ― through the eyes of such photographers as Giacomo Caneva, Pompeo Molins, Giuseppe Primoli, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Carlo Bavagnoli, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Pasquale De Antonis, Peter Lindbergh, Slim Aarons, and William Klein ― to discover Rome in its many compelling guises: as the center of the Roman Empire, as one of the cradles of the Renaissance, as a favorite destination for travelers and a rich patchwork of varied neighborhoods, as the seat of the Roman Catholic Church, a stage for politics, and as the perfect backdrop for film and fashion shoots.

Reaching back into illustrious archives, some of the book’s early images offer us a privileged Grand Tour glimpse of some of Rome’s most treasured landmarks, revealing the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Spanish Steps almost void of crowds. Later pictures survey the city’s contrasts―from the luxurious homes and leisure activities of the privileged to street stalls and laundry lines in the working class districts of Trastevere and Testaccio. Some documentary-style shots show us the dark power of Mussolini, the city bedecked with his own iconography and imagery of strength, athleticism, and the fatherland.

As color photography comes in, the city transitions from a neo-realismo aesthetic to postwar recovery and hedonism: all the glamorous gowns, exotic celebrities, and Via Veneto café culture immortalized by Fellini. Many famous faces are here, including Louis Armstrong, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Anna Magnani, and Valentino.
