Arranged chronologically, this is a marvelous guide to the art, architecture, and history of Rome. Several of the chapters are devoted to a single major monument, such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, St. Peter's and the Baths of Caracalla. Testa also explores the impact Bernini, Sixtus V, Mussolini, Caravaggio and other figures had on art history.  (ITL81, $24.95)
