About Elska Rome (Italy):

This fifty-fourth book in the Elska series marks our very first trip to Italy, a country that people have been asking us to visit for many years. And our focus city, chosen by our cohort of deluxe annual subscribers, is Rome. Epic, historic and not without some beautiful men, it's a wonder why it took us so long to get here!

Inside Elska Rome, writer and photographer Liam Campbell introduces the city through encounters with several of its local gay men. There are two key components to the Elska experience: photography and story. For the photographic portion, Liam shares honest and intimate images of the men he met here. They were photographed in their city streets, dressed in their own style, and also photographed at home, not dressed at all. For the story portion, Liam shares a narrative derived from extensive diaries kept during his visit to Rome. This includes details of moments shared with these men, conversations they had and a little bit of daydreaming inspired by them.

‘Elska Rome’ features ten chapters and the following local elskans: Dave P, Lorenzo D, Krish P, Andrewson M, Lucas G, Matteo B, Leonardo F, Enea F and Alan G.

We also recommend ordering our companion publication, ‘Elska Ekstra Rome’, available separately or as part of the ‘bundle’. Inside you'll meet two more men: Eric W and Jira S. You'll then also get to see various outtakes from the Rome trip, including hundreds more pictures of all our Roman subjects. Finally, you'll find a special feature on how we chose our cover art and you'll get to see a few of our famous (or perhaps infamous) reader selfies.
