PREFACE
The 1748
Map of Rome, by Giambattista Nolli is widely regarded
by scholars as one of the most important historical documents of
the city ever created. This project is a collaborative exploration
of the exquisite Nolli engraving, through
its historic significance and contemporary application.
A seamless digital remastering of the Nolli Map serves to geo-reference a vast body of information to better understand the Eternal City and its key role in shaping Western Civilization. The Nolli Map Web Site introduces students to Rome and the structure of its urban form; it illustrates the evolution of the city over time; and it reveals diverse factors that determined its development.
