This thoughtful guide helps visitors prepare for an encounter with the Eternal City by introducing Rome's most significant monuments and the fascinating, often complex history behind them. Rather than simply listing sites to tick off, it provides the cultural and historical context that transforms ancient ruins and Renaissance masterpieces from mere tourist attractions into windows onto Rome's extraordinary past.

Perfect for travellers who want more than superficial sightseeing, this preparation companion ensures readers arrive in Rome ready to engage deeply with what they see. By understanding the stories, politics, and personalities that shaped the city's iconic landmarks before setting foot in the Forum or the Vatican, visitors can make the most of their time in one of the world's most historically rich destinations.
