Plan of ancient Rome with a view of the Pantheon lower left and a triumphal arch lower right

Publisher Giovanni Battista Nolli Italian

1748

Not on view

The print was issued together with Giovanni Battista Nolli's much larger plan of Rome. The original plan on which it is based was made by Leonardo Bufalini as a woodcut and published in 1551, a fact that is recorded in the lower right of this print. The print is folded and kept in a marbled (19th century?) pocket to which is fixed a label that reads 'Pianta di Roma Antica delli Nolli [parioli?] 10.'
