This book describes, for the pedestrian and the motorist, the Roman Capagna in its strictist sense - that is to say it makes no account of the district to the right bank of the Tiber. It describes the landscape and sites of historic and other interests, with routes and dalliances, for the wandering traveller in Rome.
