Published by both the Getty Museum in Los Angeles and Frances Lincoln in London John Heseltine’s 2005 title uses the matrix of ancient Roman roads to explore the changing face of Italy.
In his Foreword, the eminent curator Colin Ford wrote, “Heseltine’s beautiful black and white shadows of the distant and recent past powerfully summon up the great Roman roads of Italy, the material with which they were built, and the mean and women who have used them – and continue to do so. In these pictures, ghosts really do come to life.”
