With Pope Francis’s () passing, we encourage anyone interested in papal history to check out CITY OF ECHOES, the first-ever account of how the popes’ presence has shaped the history of Rome. 🕯️

“Telling the history of Rome over nearly 2,000 years through the deeds (and misdeeds) of the Popes of the Roman Catholic Church is more than just a beautiful conceit. Jessica Wärnberg has written a deeply informative book that never fails to entertain, unearthing facts that make The Da Vinci Code read like children’s lit.” — ✍️
