My historical walking guides, Strolling Through Rome: The Definitive Walking Guide to the Eternal City (2015) and Strolling Through Florence: The Definitive Walking Guide to the Renaissance City (2018), take visitors step-by-step through the eras and areas of the cities to experience first-hand the sites and art that have played an enormous role in shaping Western Culture."
