Series editor Robert Kahn is an architect in private practice. His work has been widely published. He has taught design, most recently at Yale University. In 1981 he was awarded the Prix de Rome by the American Academy in Rome. He lives with his wife Fiona in New York City and Shelter Island.

Fellows, Residents, Visitors, and friends of the American Academy in Rome have generously shared their personal and professional insights in City Secrets Rome. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the guides will help support the ongoing programs of the Academy.

The American Academy in Rome, a center for independent study and advanced research in the arts and humanities, is located on the Janiculum, the highest point within the walls of Rome. For the scores of artists, art historians, classicists, architects, and writers who have been awarded a Rome Prize, "the beauty and resources of the place, the quality and variety of the friendships, the depth of Rome, and the time and freedom to work," mark their stay there as among the top two or three experiences of a lifetime.
