It centres on the question of what should be included in a guide, and what should be left out; the question of what is a monument, and what isn't. There is no real reason why a particular monument or building is featured in the guide, what really matters is that tells us something about the city. The only requirement that needs to be met is that the structure is part of the city itself. At the end of the book, an alphabet reveals the names of the locations, corresponding to the letters of the alphabet, placing them geographically and answering some questions about their history: a few lines to guide you on \u003cstrong\u003ea new and unexpected tour of Rome!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"corraini-shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53629355491658,"sku":"I12","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/8652\/3978\/files\/alessio-d-ellena-abbecedario-roma_1.jpg?v=1768325779"},{"product_id":"abbecedario-citt-milano","title":"City Speller: Milan","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe City Speller\u003c\/em\u003e by Alessio D’Ellena is back again.
