NOLLI, Giovanni Battista (1701-1756). Nuova pianta di Roma. [Rome]: 1748.
Magnificent, uncut and unbound copy of Nolli's famous map of Rome, considered one of the most important works in the history of cartography. The work was commissioned by Pope Benedict XIV to survey Rome and help create the demarcations of Rome's fourteen traditional districts. It is by far the most accurate description of Rome produced up to that time, in the golden age of Roman architecture. The project, sponsored by the banker Girolamo Belloni, received the support of scholars from the circles of Cardinal Alessandro Albani and the Corsini family.19 bifolia, (515 x 800mm the bifolium).
