There's a famous line in "A Hard Day's Night" spoken by Paul's grandfather (Wilfred Brambell) that perfectly captures the allure of touring, "I thought I was supposed to be getting a change of scenery. But so far I've been in a train and a room, a car and a room, and a room and a room."
Substitute plane for train, and you pretty much have the content of this slim volume, which isn't so much about their four Rome concerts in June 1965 as about the photographer who shot these largely unremarkable photos. In the roughly two dozen photos reproduced, we see the group arriving at the airport, wandering the halls of their hotel, seated at their press conference, and finally onstage at the Teatro Adriano. The text by and large is devoted to lauding Geppetti's candid photographic style, which we are reminded (again and again) gave birth to the paparazzi.
This is the kind of niche Beatles book you could actually browse in five minutes and never miss reading again. Marcello's photos would have been much better served illustrating a booklet accompanying a CD of their Rome press conference or (better yet) a Beatleg of their four concerts. Save your money.
