Like many of the buildings in Rome, this piece is the product of a long gestation marked by numerous renovations, accretions, and ground-up The Companion Guide to Rome. What has emerged is a collection of portraits—nine in all—of my favorite Roman churches. The music is, at different times and in different ways, informed by the proportions of the churches, the qualities of their surfaces, the patterns in their floors, the artwork on their walls, and the lives and legends of the saints whose names they bear. The more I worked on these miniatures, the less they had to do with actual buildings and the more they became character studies of imaginary people, my companions for a year of living in the Eternal City.

Rome: Open-air art exhibition in Villa Borghese. In the days before Lonely Planets and Rough Guides became ubiquitous, many visitors to the Eternal City relied on a rather different kind of handbook: Georgina Masson's much-loved "Companion Guide to Rome". With no lists of cheap bars and trendy nightspots or glossy spreads on shopping, it was one of the last guides whose appeal lay solely in the erudition and enthusiasm of its author. However, even many of Massons most avid readers are unaware that she also enjoyed a photographic affair with Italy that saw The Companion Guide to Rome amass some 5, negatives, which on her death in she left to the American Academy in Rome. Her subject matter included social observation as well as architecture, gardens and of course the capital itself. All of these themes will be represented in an exhibition of her work which begins at the end of April, says the curator of The Companion Guide to Rome academy's photographic archive Alessandra Capodiferro. The portraits of local processions, religious ceremonies and scenes of everyday life provide a wonderful snapshot of life in the capital during the s, she adds. This Italy it's all changed. Masson's The Companion Guide to Rome Guide to Rome" was first published in Based on a series of walks, it provides a wealth of information about the capital's archaeological and architectural treasures alongside practical travel tips. Rome resident of 30 years standing John Fort, who has revised the guide for a new edition to be published in the autumn, believes its lasting popularity stems from the personal touch of the author. It's wide-ranging and very readable. A cross between a guidebook and a work of literature, Masson's "Companion" is also, he adds, rather idiosyncratic. She misses out a lot of churches, I imagine because she didn't approve of them. Little is known about Masson's early life and background, but she is fondly remembered as a colourful fixture on the Roman social scene. The people who knew her treasured her friendship," says Monsignor Charles Burns, who met her during the s through his work in the Vatican archives. Born in Rawalpindi, India, inMasson's real name was Marion Johnson, but for most of her life she was known as "Babs". The daughter of an officer The Companion Guide to Rome the old Indian Army, "she was empire through and through, says Burns. During the second world war she joined the British Ministry of Information and the Foreign Office, work that brought her to Rome, where she subsequently became a correspondent for the Architectural Review. She quickly developed a wide circle of friends which included some of Italy's most aristocratic families, such as the Pamphilj, who agreed to let her live in the stables of the beautiful Villa Doria Pamphilj at the top of the Gianicolo hill. This little grace-and-favour apartment was where Masson threw parties and served her explosive bomba atomica curry. Masson used her connections with the great and the good of Italy to gain access to the most beautiful and historic homes and gardens in the country. The result was two lavish books that combined her life-long interest in the history of architecture and landscape gardens with her growing skill as a photographer. Masson continued to develop her skills as a historian, publishing biographies of, among others, the Borgias and Queen Christina of Sweden, who moved to Rome after abdicating her throne. The writer was also the first woman to be awarded the Dumbarton Oaks Senior Research Fellowship in Landscape Design by the Trustees for Harvard University for her work on the history of gardens. It was this aptitude for researching a subject, for "doing her homework", that Burns believes made her so successful with the camera. That's the way Babs did things; she was very thorough in a nice way. She was The Companion Guide to Rome conscious The Companion Guide to Rome modernist traditions in photography, says Lauf. The entire collection of Masson's mostly black-and-white photographs can now be browsed in digital format at the American Academy. There are plans to make it available directly over the internet in the future. Just 35 The Companion Guide to Rome will go on show at the academy on 29 April, none of which have been exhibited before, and the selection process was long and painful according to Capodiferro.

There is, however, a constant leaning towards and dwelling upon ancient art and architecture the earlier, the better, to the disregard of much of the work of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, for example and the prose style, using 'we' and 'our' to guide the reader through the author's personal opinions, is slightly annoying. My copy is a bit dated, having been printed in the early 80s, but there is a more recent update. Rome, anyhow, doesn't change very much. This has been a most interesting read and I recommend. I wanted to use this book from the moment I heard about it. It was several years and several trips to Rome before I found a used copy I could afford. The Companion Guide to Rome is not the book I ended up taking to Rome, and this surprised me as I had waited so long to get it! I use it for reference, for planning excursions in Rome, but it has never traveled with me to that city. A hefty pb, worth the mass on the flight and the ground in Rome.
