The People of Rome
from Roads to Rome · host dml0sc
In this episode, we explore how the people of Rome were seen and depicted in the 19th century, caught between the grandeur of their ancient past and the Catholic world’s influence. From romanticized portrayals of the Trastevere neighborhood to photography’s role in shaping a new realism, we uncover how artists, writers, and travelers constructed enduring images of Roman identity. Discover how everyday Romans were both celebrated and misunderstood, and how these narratives continue to shape perceptions of the Eternal City today.
