"The observer would need merely to shift the focus of his eyes, perhaps, or change his position, in order to call up a view of either the one or the other."In this one-of-a-kind book, historian Richard Bosworth accepts Freud's challenge, drawing upon his expertise in Italian pasts to explore the many layers of history found within the Eternal City. Often beginning his analysis with sites and monuments that can still be found in contemporary Rome, Bosworth expands his scope to review how political groups of different eras-the Catholic Church, makers of the Italian nation, Fascists, and "ordinary" Romans (be they citizens, immigrants, or tourists)-read meaning into the city around them. Weaving in the city's quintessential figures (Garibaldi, Pius XII, Mussolini, and Berlusconi) and architectural icons (the Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica, the Victor Emmanuel Monument, and EUR) with those forgotten or unknown, Bosworth explores the many histories that whisper their rival and competing messages and seek to impose their truth upon the passing crowds. But as this delightful study will reveal, Rome, that magisterial palimpsest, has never accepted a single reading of its historic meaning. 606 $aMemory$xSocial aspects$zItaly$zRome 606 $aHistoric sites$zItaly$zRome 606 $aHistoric buildings$zItaly$zRome 606 $aArchitecture$zItaly$zRome 607 $aRome (Italy)$xHistory 607 $aRome (Italy)$xHistoriography 607 $aRome (Italy)$xDescription and travel 607 $aRome (Italy)$xBuildings, structures, etc 615 0$aMemory$xSocial aspects 615 0$aHistoric sites 615 0$aHistoric buildings 615 0$aArchitecture 676 $a945/.632 686 $a6,12$2ssgn 686 $a8,2$2ssgn 686 $aNR 8735$2rvk 700 $aBosworth$b R.
