520			_a"Rome in 1860" by Edward Dicey is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work provides a detailed exploration of contemporary life in Rome, focusing on the socio-political and cultural landscape of the city during a period marked by the influence of the Papal system. Dicey seeks to capture the essence of Rome as a living city, rich in history yet struggling under the weight of its ecclesiastical governance, delving into the lives of its inhabitants, the prevailing poverty, and the pervasive presence of clergy. The opening of the work introduces readers to the author's personal reflections about Rome, as he attempts to describe the city's current state while putting aside its historical grandeur. He portrays the journey into Rome as one filled with desolation, depicting a landscape that feels lifeless and mundane, populated by weary peasants and scattered ruins. As the author explores the streets, he emphasizes the somber atmosphere, filled with beggars and priests, and hints at a city consumed by its own past while grappling with the corruption and stagnation imposed by the Papal regime. This nuanced depiction sets the stage for a critical examination of the social fabric and governmental structure of Rome in the period leading up to significant change.
