La Pianta Grande di Roma by Giovanni Battista Nolli circa 1748 - Set of Sixteen Prints (16) - 12 Maps and 4 Index Sheets for Reference.  The monumental Pianta Grande di Roma, or Large Plan of Rome, which measures about 5 x 7 feet when its twelve plates are assembled, is a landmark in both cartography and printmaking.

The map is considered the first scientific rendering of Rome, establishing new standards of accuracy and thoroughness when it was published in 1748. Devised by architect and surveyor Giovanni Battista Nolli, the creation of the map required over ten years of surveying the city carried out by Nolli and a team of assistants with the help of new measuring devices. In Nolli's ichnographic plan, architectural features and the urban infrastructure are reduced to a single horizontal slice that conveys dimensions, proportions, and orientations to scale with clarity.

The original size prints are 17.25 high x 27.25 wide - which maintains the dimensions of the original work, but displaying this size requires custom framing. We also offer each print in 16 x 24 inches, the closest size that maintains proportion and can be mounted using standard sized frames. The 16 x 24 inch option provides an affordable solution to framing this large display. Digitally enhanced and professionally reprinted. Ships rolled in a reinforced mailing tube.  *Frames are not included.
