What's ROMAPEDIA

ROMAPEDIA is a work of synthesis and anthology of the most authoritative and reliable sources of facts about the GREAT BEAUTY of Rome and the area of the Province of Rome.

ROMAPEDIA is an encyclopedic dictionary with 1,363 entries, including 487 churches, 278 palaces, and 153 museums. The word count is 746,174. By comparison The King James Authorized Bible has 783,137 words.

ROMAPEDIA includes quotations and critical evaluations written by talented art historians that are, in the opinion of the editor, illuminating and revealing.

ROMAPEDIA is linked to over 15,000 pictures and each entry is linked to its exact location on Google Maps.
