«Una giornata nell'antica Roma» is Alberto Angela's historical non-fiction essay, published by Mondadori in paperback (331 pages, in Italian).
The author proposes a journey through daily life in imperial Rome following the thread of an ordinary day: the streets, the dwellings, the Colosseum and its spectacles are described with a popularizing approach. It alternates historical explanations with scenes narrated as if a camera were capturing them live, to show gestures, noises and small details of the era.
Originally published in Italian in 2008, the work belongs to the Oscar Grandi Bestsellers collection and was awarded the Cimitile Prize in the essay category.
Ideal for those who enjoy historical popularization and want to approach Roman life without prior knowledge.
Alberto Cesare Angela is an Italian paleontologist, television host, journalist, and writer. Angela is a famous history and science communicator in Italy.
