This book offers a fascinating journey through the history of Rome through its demolitions and urban transformations. From the time of Nero to the present day, the author analyzes how political and urban planning decisions have shaped the city, often sacrificing historical structures to make way for new aesthetic and functional visions. Through its pages, the book explores emblematic cases such as the demolitions of Sixtus V, the transformation of the old St. Peter's, and the interventions during Fascist Rome. It is an essential work for understanding the layers of history and the paradoxes upon which the Eternal City has been built, revealing how the loss of certain horizons has defined Rome's urban identity over the centuries.
