This is an excellent compendium of writings on Rome by famous and not so famous writers and other personages. The selections are short, and you never get bogged down. Following each selection is a recommended walk through the areas where the particular writer stayed and to the sites mentioned in the selection. The walking guide also mentions restaurants and other places you might want to stop at if you take the walks. What is more, Google Maps now has every street in Rome filmed, so you can use the little yellow man to take a virtual walk down each of the streets mentioned.
