When I think of European travel, I often think of Italy. It is not surprising to me that Rome is a major tourist attraction. The Colosseum has been on my bucket list along with its many ancient monuments, fountains, and bridges.
Thinking of this, I am aware we've entered some of Rome's best travel months. My favorite season is Fall and I recall Rick Steves reporting that September, October, and early November are great months to visit Rome.
While I have thoughts of this amazing art city with unique scenery and the best pasta in the world, I wanted to make readers aware that Mark Tedesco travel blogger and retired History teacher, contacted me some time ago to tell me about his book, 'She Seduced Me: A Love Affair with Rome.'
To create this book, Mark interviewed street performers, Romans, ex-pats, historians, and archaeologists to provide unique stories on architecture, art, and heritage. He informed me that reading the book transports the reader into another world and reveals the city. Mark does this through funny, informative, and insightful stories. His blog also provides useful details on packing, culture, attitudes, and language. Mark speaks Italian but states there are many ex-pats in Italy whose primary language is not Italian. You can check out the book on this vlog.
