Now in \u003ci\u003eRome after Rome\u003c\/i\u003e, containing images from the previous book as well as numerous unpublished pictures, Sternfeld's questions multiply: Who are these modern Romans? What is their relationship to the splendor that was? What is the nature of sullied modernity in relation to the Arcadian ideal?\u003cbr\u003eThe Campagna--the countryside south and east of Rome--occupies a special place in Roman (and human) history. With the rise of Ancient Rome, this once polluted, malarial landscape was restored by emperors and thrived, with some 20 towns and numerous wealthy villas on the rolling plains among the mighty aqueducts that fed water to Rome. After the city fell, the Campagna once again became desolate and dangerous. Sternfeld updates this history for the contemporary eye.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783958292635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 16.80h x 14.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Joel Sternfeld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38521022775477,"sku":"9783958292635","price":80.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_febe2831-de19-48fd-9283-dced480c66d8.jpg?v=1613483539","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/joel-sternfeld-rome-after-rome-9783958292635","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
