## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gift for a traveler, young person
*by S***L on November 6, 2024*

fun read

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An outstanding insight into the eternal city
*by A***A on August 31, 2003*

From cover to cover, I was gripped by this enchanting account of Alan Epstein's life in Rome. I have no idea why many of the other reviewers are so bitter and sarcastic, but put it down to jealousy. So what if Alan and Diane had a little $ to spare to furnish their apartment beautifully? They earned it, didn't they? I say "Good for them!" The book read to me like a novel. Having spent some time in Rome myself, I can relate to virtually everything Alan has written...the classic beauty of the women (and men) and their ability to make even jeans and a T-shirt look chic, the remarkable "culture" of food, the simplicities and complexities of everyday life. I particularly enjoyed the writing style and found this book far less egotistical that the rash of Provence and Tuscany books out there. (If you want ego...read Mayle.) Thanks Alan and Diane. I hope there are more "Rome" books in the works!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book on Italian everyday culture
*by M***S on April 14, 2021*

This is my favorite book about Italian culture. I have bought it for any friend who plans a trip to Italy. There is so much to laugh over and be amused. The Italians and their Bella Figura is absolutely true!
