'It took only three days to fall in love with Rome. Like all infatuations, I expected it to wear off. I decided that I would leave when I no longer noticed the Coliseum. I am still waiting.'

In Roman Daze- La Dolce Vita for All Seasons, Bronte Jackson describes how the seasons, food, family, landscape, rituals and history combine to create and explain the Italian lifestyle and why, from the outside, it looks like La Dolce Vita. Bronte Jackson's perceptive and humorous memoir takes your hand as she walks through the streets of the city, infects you with her passion for Rome, its quirks and eccentricities and debunks a number of the myths of La Dolce Vita.
