Fleeting Rome by Carlo Levi
A series of keenly observed essays and sketches that mourns and celebrates the city's shifting face, tracing how ancient stones and intimate neighborhoods are altered by modern life; through portraits of ordinary Romans, taverns, markets and monuments, the prose captures the tension between memory and change, the persistence of tradition amid social and political upheaval, and a melancholic appreciation for a Rome that is at once enduring and vanishing.
