Questo è un racconto sulle guide di Roma. Racconto che parte da rotoli di pergamena scritti in latino oltre dieci secoli fa e che si conclude con volumetti rossi stampati nelle principali lingue europee tra metà '800 e primi del '900. Dai “Mirabilia urbis”, le descrizioni più fantastiche che reali destinate ai viaggiatori medievali, ai “Baedeker”, le guide pubblicate in Germania per i viaggiatori stranieri dell'epoca moderna. Le guide di Roma, dopo l'invenzione della stampa, erano dei veri e propri libri che nei casi migliori potremmo definire “letteratura popolare”: testi destinati a soddisfare le curiosità anche dei viaggiatori che ignoravano del tutto la “letteratura colta”. Nelle sfaccettature delle guide si rispecchiavano i modi di visitare la città, l'immagine che voleva darne il sistema di potere che la governava, la cultura dei visitatori, le stesse modificazioni di Roma nel tempo. Il racconto è animato da nostalgia per le guide che volevano far conoscere Roma, e non soltanto informare (come avviene oggi) sulle cose da vedere. Per le guide che andavano lette e studiate, e non soltanto sfogliate.
Rome and The Guidebook Tradition

To this day, no comprehensive academic study of the development of guidebooks to Rome over time has been performed. This book treats the history of guidebooks to Rome from the Middle Ages up to the early twentieth century. It is based on the results of the interdisciplinary research project Topos and Topography, led by Anna Blennow and Stefano Fogelberg Rota. From the case studies performed within the project, it becomes evident that the guidebook as a phenomenon was formed in Rome during the later Middle Ages and early Renaissance. The elements and rhetorical strategies of guidebooks over time have shown to be surprisingly uniform, with three important points of development: a turn towards a more user-friendly structure from the seventeenth century and onward; the so-called ’Baedeker effect’ in the mid-nineteenth century; and the introduction of a personalized guiding voice in the first half of the twentieth century. Thus, the ‘guidebook tradition’ is an unusually consistent literary oeuvre, which also forms a warranty for the authority of every new guidebook. In this respect, the guidebook tradition is intimately associated with the city of Rome, with which it shares a constantly renovating yet eternally fixed nature.
A Companion to Early Modern Rome, 1492–1692
Winner of the 2020 Bainton Prize for Reference Works This volume, edited by Pamela M. Jones, Barbara Wisch, and Simon Ditchfield, focuses on Rome from 1492-1692, an era of striking renewal: demographic, architectural, intellectual, and artistic. Rome’s most distinctive aspects--including its twin governments (civic and papal), unique role as the seat of global Catholicism, disproportionately male population, and status as artistic capital of Europe--are examined from numerous perspectives. This book of 30 chapters, intended for scholars and students across the academy, fills a noteworthy gap in the literature. It is the only multidisciplinary study of 16th- and 17th-century Rome that synthesizes and critiques past and recent scholarship while offering innovative analyses of a wide range of topics and identifying new avenues for research. Committee's statement "The volume includes a multidisciplinary study of early modern Rome by focusing on the 16th and 17th centuries by re-examining traditional topics anew. This volume will be of tremendous use to scholars and students because its focus is very well conceptualized and organized, while still covering a breadth of topics. The authors celebrate Rome’s diversity by exploring its role not only as the seat of the Catholic church, but also as home to large communities of diplomats, printers, and working artisans, all of whom contributed to the city’s visual, material, and musical cultures".
