The Colosseum(圆形大剧场) and Trevi Fountain(许愿泉) aren’t even mentioned in a hot-off –the –press guide to Rome. Instead, the pocketbook provides a guide to survival for homeless people in the Eternal(不朽) City. Some 5,000 people are homeless in Italy’s capital and up to 50,000 people are dependent on others for help--especially the elderly and the disabled, according to the Sant’ Egidio religious charity which drew up the book.

The 2003 edition of “Where to Eat, Sleep and Wash”, which has been called the “Poor-Man’s Michelin Guide (《米其林指南》) to Rome,” tells the needy and homeless where to find shelters, soup kitchens, public baths and health services. Demand for the book has skyrocketed since it was first published in 1990. The group printed 2,000 copies of the first edition but this year 13,000 copies of the 148-page “Bible” were printed, highlighting 760 locations(场所) that provide services for the needy.

“It contains the secrets to survival in Rome,” said Mario Marazziti, a spokesman for the Sant’Egidio community. “This is a different face of Rome, and the guide tells us how to deal with its problems.” “Because of the economic crisis, more and more people are falling below the poverty line,” Marazziti added.

Indeed, it was the death of a beggar in 1983 after ambulance workers refused to pick him up that inspired Sant’Egidio to start publishing its pocket-sized guides to Rome. For the first time, San’t Egidio also included a fold-out plastic-coated map with symbols representing all of the eating, sleeping and washing hot spots across the city. Although the Golosseum is not marked in the guide, it appears on this map. “But it’s just a reference,” Marazziti said. “The normal Rome that tourists look at is a background for us.”
