"Campo Vaccino," by J. M. W. Turner, completed in 1839, is his final painting of Rome.
It’s not only a beautiful city, but one whose 25 hundred-year history is visible to anyone who takes a look around. No wonder it has inspired artists, writers and composers for centuries.
In this hour, Rome . . . in music by Respighi, Mozart, Berlioz, Strauss and more.
