About This Book
The history of methods and instruments for measuring time in the city of Rome, starting from the Middle Ages to the present day, with some notes also regarding the previous historical period.
From sundials to sundials, from canonical time to mechanical clocks, in their long evolution, up to the even more precise measurements in the digital age, a series of images and information that narrate the experience of the capital over the centuries.
An unusual historical and social reconstruction of the eternal city through the observation of its clocks (a topic never addressed in a single volume), which ideally takes the reader for a walk around Rome and, as if he were watching a film, makes images and customs of the past and present flow before his eyes.
