Rome Secrets by Susan Wright

Susan Wright’s new homage to the city isn’t afraid of the grittier side, away from the tourist traps, that locals experience. Susan Wright is a professional photographer of more than 20 years and she says that Rome is her great love, having moved there ten years ago. In the opening image graffiti, decaying walls and chipped paint are imbued with life as a lady carries shopping through a distant alleyway.

“As I walked the ancient cobblestone streets, I felt as though I was immersed in a dynamic, electric movie set, unfolding around me as I went about my day.” This coffee table book is divided into sections with themes such as eating, faith, love and after dark. The secret doorways section is enticing enough for readers to note the captions and hunt down the secrets on their next visit.

This is a travel guide of visual inspiration with pages to make you hungry, creative, seductive, lost as well as found.
