Cromoroma: 30 Views of the Eternal City to Colour In

This book is a journey…

But not the kind we usually imagine. All you need for this journey is time, a suitcase full of paints or crayons and your own creativity. Then you can experience the wonders of Rome in a new and original way.

Rome’s most characteristic sights, its piazzas, churches, streets and monuments are elegantly drawn by an artist who manages to capture in a graceful and unique style all the poetry of the Eternal City. Like a modern-day traveller doing the Grand Tour, you will be transported by his black and white illustrations, which you can turn into multi-coloured frescoes according to your own taste.

Let yourself be guided by the feelings this fascinating ancient capital inspires in you!

• Rome-born artist Emilio Lecce takes us through the streets and monuments of the Eternal City, with his light and elegant sketches of the sights and viewpoints that form the backdrop to the daily life of Romans.
• From Piazza Navona to Campo de’ Fiori, from the Porticus Octaviae to the Campidoglio, from Piazza San Cosimato to St Peter’s Basilica: this journey through the centuries encapsulates the city’s atmosphere for those who live in it every day, those who have seen it only once and even those who have never been there but hope to visit it sooner or later.
