This work intertwines personal reflections and experiences with vivid accounts of Rome's rich past, exploring both legendary figures such as Romulus and Remus and the lives of significant early Christian saints like St. Peter. The author aims to connect modern readers with the grandeur of Rome's history through engaging storytelling and rich details. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for Fraser's exploration of her deep affinity for Rome and its past, conveying feelings of nostalgia and reverence. She begins by reflecting on her childhood impressions of the city, likening her relationship with Rome to that of a cherished parent. The text then delves into the origins of Rome, recalling the migration of the Alban shepherds and the mythical tales surrounding the city's foundation. Fraser emphasizes Rome's ongoing influence across history, culminating in the rich tapestry of its legendary and historical figures, creating an intimate portrait of both the city and its storied past.
