Sobre Rome

Visão geral

Rome é um álbum escrito pelo produtor musical americano Danger Mouse e pelo compositor italiano Daniele Luppi. O álbum levou cinco anos para ser feito e foi inspirado pela música dos spaghetti westerns. O álbum foi gravado usando equipamentos vintage e, além de contar com músicos que gravaram trilhas sonoras de spaghetti westerns, também apresenta uma reunião do Cantori Moderni – o coro formado por Alessandro Alessandroni – que atuou na trilha sonora de The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. O álbum também inclui vocais dos cantores americanos Jack White nas faixas "The Rose with the Broken Neck", "Two Against One" e "The World", e Norah Jones nas faixas "Season's Trees", "Black" e "Problem Queen". White também optou por fornecer as letras de suas três canções. Lista de faixas Paradas

Notable quotes

“When I am at Rome I fast as the Romans do; when I am at Milan I do not fast. So likewise you, whatever church you come to, observe the custom of the place, if you would neither give offence to others, nor take offence from them.”
— Another version of St. Ambrose's advice. Reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 677.
“Every one soon or late comes round by Rome.”
— Robert Browning, Ring and the Book, V, 296. Reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 677.
“The traveler who has contemplated the ruins of ancient Rome may conceive some imperfect idea of the sentiments which they must have inspired when they reared their heads in the splendor of unsullied beauty.”
— Edward Gibbon, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776).
“Never before has any city in the world had so a wonderful adventure. Its history is so big that even the huge crimes it is littered with look tiny. Maybe one of the troubles of Italy is exactly this: to have a capital city that is disproportionate, for name and past history, to the modesty of a people that, when shouting "go for it, Rome!", is only referring to a football team.”
— Indro Montanelli, History of Rome, Epilogue
“Septem urbs alta jugis, toti quæ præsidet orbi.”
— The city built on seven hills, that governs all the world.
“The teacher reminded us that Rome's liberties were not auctioned off in a day, but were bought slowly, gradually, furtively, little by little; first with a little corn and oil for the exceedingly poor and wretched, later with corn and oil for voters who were not quite so poor, later still with corn and oil for pretty much every man that had a vote to sell—exactly our own history over again.”
— Mark Twain, "Purchasing Civic Virtue," Mark Twain in Bernard DeVoto, ed., Eruption (1940), p. 68–69.
