First published in the early 1800s by renowned Roman engraver Mariano Vasi, this new edition offers detailed information for travelers seeking to appreciate the city's architecture, painting, and sculptures.

The author's firsthand expertise and passion for his subject make this a compelling and informative guide. Vasi's commentary provides depth, revealing the stories behind each sight, and explaining the creative inspiration and processes of the artists who adorned Rome's churches and palaces.
