Monaldini, Venanzio (sold)
Venanzio Monaldini (fl. c. 1765 - 1849) was a late 18th and early 19th century bookseller, book publisher, and map publisher based in Rome, Italy. His work appears as early as the 1760s and as late as 1849. It is unfortunately unclear if his opus represents a single individual or an an ongoing family enterprise. Monaldini's publications focused on maps and guides intended for the Grand Tour set, many of which he published in English. Monaldini, along with Arthur John Strutt, also published the weekly Roman Advertiser: Journal of Science, Literature and the Fine Arts from October 24, 1846 to April 21,1849. The bookshop, Venanzio Monaldini Librario e Cartolaro, was located on Piazza de Spanga no. 79, just opposite the Spanish Steps, Rome, Italy.

This is a strikingly engraved 1824 Pietro Ruga folding city plan or map of Rome, Italy. The map depicts Rome from the Vatican to the Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem (Bas. di S. Croce in Gerusaleme) and from the Piazza del Popolo to the San Sebastiano Gate. A spectacularly detailed masterpiece, Ruga's map is an ichnographic plan. This means that large historic sites, like the Colosseum, the Baths of Caracalla, and the Pantheon, and others are illustrated as horizontal cross-sections, revealing detailed floor plans. Numerous churches and basilicas, including St. Peter's, are illustrated thus. All fourteen of Rome's Rioni are identified by Roman numerals and correspond with an index in the lower right. An extensive index of the city's monuments occupies part of both the left and right side panels. Sixteen detailed monument views create the left and right borders. These include a mélange of ancient and modern sites, among them St. Peter's Basilica, the Pantheon of Agrippa, the Roman Forum, the Colosseum, and the Basilica of St. Paul. (more details)
