THE MAN WHO LOVED ITALY
Part travelogue, part Roman history, Ave Roma Immortalis captures Francis Marion Crawford's deep love for his favorite city. An American by birth, he grew up shuttling between his home country and Italy, his chosen home. Crawford is remembered for his novels featuring lush settings, and this non-fiction work captures his knack beautifully.
Complete with a fold-out map and black and white illustrations throughout. This copy has Alderman R. W. Farrell's bookplate adhered to the front paste downs of both volumes.
