"Here is an intimate tribute to the vibrant character and style of one of the world's most spectacular cities. In 1995, after a twenty-year love affair with Italy, Alan Epstein fulfilled his dream to live in Rome with his wife and two sons. In As the Romans Do, he celebrates daily life in this dramatic, ancient city that formed the hub of a far-flung empire and introduced Mediterranean culture to the rest of the world.".
"In brief, perceptive vignettes, Epstein reveals the city and its men and women in all their appealing contradictions: their gregarious caffe culture, inborn artistic flair, passionate appreciation of good food, instinctive mistrust of technology, showy sex appeal, ingrained charm and expressiveness, surprising attitudes toward marriage and religion, and much more."--BOOK JACKET.
