Pedro Caro, 3rd Marquis Of La Romana
Don Pedro Caro y Sureda, 3rd Marquis of La Romana (2 October 1761 – 23 January 1811) was a Spanish general of the Peninsular War.

The Woman Of Rome
''The Woman from Rome'' ( it, La romana) is a 1947 novel by Alberto Moravia about the intersecting lives of many characters, chief among them a prostitute (whose mother is also a prostitute) and an idealistic intellectual who, after an interrogation by the Fascist officers, during which he betrays his colleagues (for reasons he himself is not able to understand), becomes completely disillusioned about everything. Like many other Alberto Moravia novels and those by other authors of the time, this novel explores the themes of existentialism, morality, and alienation. Even though the novel is about a prostitute, an intellectual who loses his commitment and his belief in everything, and a Fascist officer, it presents compelling insights about the individuals and the society, and what links them together, as well as about their respective responsibilities. Adaptations The novel was adapted into a film in 1954. In popular culture *In the penultimate ''Mad Men'' episode, " The Milk a ...
