In search of the Soul of Rome: Jubilee, anecdotes and curiosities to rediscover the joy of being Roman

The Jubilee has always been an extraordinary opportunity to enhance and beautify Rome—urbanistically, artistically, but also economically and socially. It’s no coincidence that the root of the word “Jubilee” is also found in the term “jubilation.” With this book, as we approach the Holy Year, we embark on a quest for the Soul of Rome, rediscovering—through anecdotes and curiosities—the profound joy of being Roman. “This book,” writes the author Gianluca Dodero, “is a prayer. A prayer of gratitude to my City, which I feel is like a mother. Not only did it give me life, but it saved it. Yes, Rome has the power to save lives. How? By giving life a higher meaning, offering a deeper sense to human experiences…” Gianluca Dodero’s work is a must-read, a way to understand Rome’s essence—the Rome that, throughout 2025, will welcome the world within its embrace.
