About the author

Paul Hofmann was an author, journalist, linguist, and political activist. The New York Times, for whom he was a foreign correspondent, described him as fluent in German, Italian, French, and English, having a command of several other languages that was more than passable, as well as "a broad grasp of history and diplomatic affairs and an often playful curiosity."

Reviews

[Greta · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rome sounds like a fascinating place to live, well into your 80's & 90'S, because it is so "stress free". Hard to believe until you grasp how indifferent to time is native Roman resident. Espresso breaks several times each day plus a gelato now and then are popular pass-times. Watch out for purse snatchers grabbing from small cars in heavy traffic, and enjoy 2500 years of history.
