The book for the Holy Year by bestselling author Andreas Englisch: High-speed journey along the pilgrimage route: 11 riddles lead to Rome via winding paths – and deep into the history of Italy. Whether pilgrims or plunderers, emperors or mendicant friars, whether seeking power, wealth, salvation, or love – for millennia, travelers have been drawn to Rome. In his new book, Italy expert Andreas Englisch tells the stories of these people and of a fast-paced journey that unites him with Sue, an unusual companion: On their journey from Merano in South Tyrol, via Lake Garda, Verona, and Tuscany, to Rome, the longed-for destination of all pilgrims, they must solve numerous riddles and decipher clues. 'All Roads Lead to Rome' is a lively scavenger hunt through the culture and history of Italy and, at the same time, a love letter to the country that has captivated Andreas Englisch for almost four decades. Features: includes a section of illustrations.
