Product Description
Synopsis
A church where animals are blessed, a magic door, magnificent palaces that are almost unknown, hidden cloisters and gardens, amazing optical illusions, unknown miracles and legends, a children's hairdresser, a 17th century pharmacy, surprising private collections, mass in Aramaic, the language of Jesus Christ, and much more. Far from the traditional tourist locations, Rome has managed to keep many secrets and it can still surprise and seduce its inhabitants and its visitors who thought they knew it well.

Good book to take with you, 11 Nov 2009
By Deborah Verlen "Deborah" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Secret Rome (Editions Jonglez) (Paperback)
Stepping off the beaten path and exploring the uncommon is something many tourists dream of doing and this book will help you do that in Rome. Although many of the sites in here can be found in other guidebooks, this book consolidates many of the smaller or lesser known, but equally engaging sites worth seeing.
You'll find information on viewing the oldest toy soldier manufacturer, Goethe House, the Blessing of the Animals, a doll hospital, Tozzi's collection of 27,000 razor blades and an 18th century herbalist shop to name a few.
In the back there is a thematic index where you can find sites listed by the categories of museum, little known palaces, views, the ancient city/Rome, sciences and miscellaneous. There is also an alphabetical index.
If you want to step into seeing sites most tourists miss, this book will help you do that!
