I’ve long been fascinated about the over 300,000 feral cats that roam Rome. The author speaks to some of their volunteer caretakers, called. Le Gattere, and maps the locations of many of these colonies. It’s an interesting look beyond the tourist take.
The true glory in this book is the photography. The author captures these fabulous felines in all manner of spots in Rome, frolicking in the ruins, stalking cemeteries, sunning themselves in courtyards, etc. If you enjoy cats and photography as much as I do, you’ll dig this book.
I appreciate the advanced copy from NetGalley and Chronicle Books | Princeton Architectural Press.
