7
cultural satellite moons
of Roman Grandeur
To become truly acquainted with Rome���s splendors would
take a lifetime. Here are seven remarkable sights outside the
walls of the Vatican that have profoundly moved me. (Note:
HYLAND will present a Vatican focus in a future issue.) Each
one is a cultural satellite moon of Roman grandeur. Gaze upon
them and you will be transformed.
I have been guided over the years by the Blue Guide: Rome,
published by Somerset Books, London. Marco Bussagli���s
Rome: Art & Architecture, published by H. F. Ullman, is a wonderful pictorial guide.
