Return to Rome

Cities in Words is geoPlaneta’s new series, reviving the finest tradition of correspondent journalism to explore some of the world’s great cities through a personal, journalistic, and thoroughly contemporary lens.

Through Marina García Diéguez’s eyes, Return to Rome explores the Eternal City from an intimate, journalistic, and deeply personal perspective. Between the solemnity of the Vatican and the everyday rhythm of its streets, the author portrays a city of churches, football, gelato, graffiti, cinema, hidden viewpoints, and nighttime strolls. Combining emotion with journalistic rigour, the book reveals a Rome where the sacred and the profane, history and modernity coexist, capturing the vibrant portrait of a city that never ceases to amaze.
