Rome Antics - Tapa blanda

A pigeon carrying an important message takes the reader on a unique tour through Rome. As we follow the path of this somewhat wayward bird, we discover that Rome is a place where past and present live side by side. Every time a corner is turned there is a surprise, just as every turn of the page brings a new perspective. This juxtaposition of ancient and modern, as seen with David Macaulay's ingenious vision, gives the reader an imaginative and informative journey through this wondrous city.

David Macaulay’s books have sold millions of copies in the United States alone, and have been translated into a dozen languages. He has been the recipient of the Caldecott Medal and Honors, the Christopher Award, an American Institute of Architects Medal, and the Washington Post-Children’s Book Guild Nonfiction Award, and a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship. David Macaulay lives with his family in Vermont.
