Too bad the essence of Rome can t be bottled and exported to a corner store near you. If it could, you could pick up a weekends worth of Rome along with your pint of milk and Snickers bar, and you d probably never get to repainting the stairs, doing the laundry, or watching that new video release. Instead you d be gawking at St. Peter s, ogling the Temple of Vesta, devouring saltimbocca in a trattoria, and sipping Sangiovese at a wine bar. You might not even get to the Snickers bar. Okay, DK never said they're trying to bottle Rome. But they do a stand-up job of imbuing their guidebook with the spirit, attitude, and élan of Rome
