Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Rome

A native Californian, Sylvie Hogg first came to Rome in 1977 at the age of 15 months, and screamed her way through the Sistine Chapel. She returned in 1997 on a Dartmouth foreign-study program and, not wanting to confront the real world, moved to the Eternal City upon graduation in 1998. She has worked in tourism, as a guide and writer of guidebooks, ever since. Her pastimes include talking to complete strangers over espresso, eating lots of prosciutto and mozzarella, and going nowhere in particular on her motorino, smiling to herself about how great it is to be in Rome.Hogg, Sylvie is the author of 'Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Rome', published 2003 under ISBN 9780764539244 and ISBN 0764539248.
