Matthew Rice is a long-time observer and illustrator of cities, buildings and all those who inhabit them, with an uncanny ability to express the energy of a place through a few lines of ink and splashes of paint. For years, Rome has been a source of deep creative inspiration for him; and now, in Rome: A Sketchbook Guide, he captures the highlights of this most beguiling of Italian cities.

Following the same landscape format as Matthew's real-life sketchbooks, Rome: A Sketchbook Guide will combine enchanting watercolour illustrations with an informed, personal and witty text, and promises to delight all visitors to Rome, armchair or actual.
