The final compilation from James Lees-Milnes celebrated diaries covering the last fourteen years of his life.
The first of three abridged volumes of 'the greatest diarist of our times'
In eight illuminating chapters we have the history of the Eternal City—Ancient Roman, Early Christian, Romanesque, Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo—the history of the buildings themselves, and Lees-Milne's inspired description and criticism of them as architectural masterpieces.
