 When in Rome: A Journal of Life in Vatican City by Robert J. HutchinsonThis lighthearted book, a delightful backstairs "cook's tour" of the world's most mysterious and eccentric country-within-a-country, offers an unforgettable and unprecedented eyewitness account of one of the most fascinating places on Earth. "The book entertains mostly as a travelogue that depicts such off-beat tourism spots as the eerie Capuchin ossuary, where human bones decorate six chapel vaults..." --Sandra Mardenfeld, New York Times Book Review "This is one of the most entertaining books about Rome and the Vatican to come along in years! Robert J. Hutchinson's tour de force about the city of the Caesars and the Popes manages the rare and difficult - sometimes disconcerting - feat of being at once ribald and reverent, informative and outrageous and - not least - very, very funny. Anyone interested in Rome, in the Vatican, or in just having a good time in Italy, will surely love When in Rome. I couldn't put it down. " --Robert Moynihan, Ph.D Paperback - 5 1/2" x 8" - (12/98)
