Marion Crawford, a renowned American writer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drew inspiration from his own experiences living in Italy to craft 'The Heart of Rome'.

Francis Marion Crawford (1854-1909) was an American writer noted for his many novels, especially those set in Italy, which blend a keen sense of place with gripping plotlines. Born to a sculptor father and a socially prominent mother, Crawford was cosmopolitan in upbringing, having been educated in Europe and the United States. He initially pursued a career in Sanskrit studies but shifted to writing, finding his literary niche in the realm of fiction. Crawford's work, often classified as Romantic and sometimes venturing into the supernatural, intertwines historical, romantic, and sometimes eerie elements, contributing to his unique style that captivated readers of his time. 'The Heart of Rome: A Tale of the "Lost Water"' (1903) stands testament to Crawford's storytelling prowess. Set against the backdrop of Rome's ancient splendor and decaying nobility, the novel reflects Crawford's fascination with Italian life and his penchant for thrilling narratives. Through his prodigious output of over 40 novels and various short stories, Crawford has secured his place in the annals of American expatriate literature, and his works remain poignant explorations of the human experience, passion, and the rich tapestry of Italian culture.
