This book is a record of how, in the space of a few years, and in the name of modernisation and redevelopment, an almost complete period city has been robbed of its architectural "undergrowth"; and of how the ugly new developments, out of harmony, out of proportion and out of place, have wrecked a unique part of the European heritage.
