This is a 1748 Giambattista Nolli city plan or map of Rome, Italy, in its single-sheet reduced format state, engraved by the mapmaker and Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Nolli's magnum opus, the twelve-sheet La Nuova Pianta Di Roma, was printed that same year and typically bound together with two single-sheet maps: one, a retrospective showing Rome during the Classical Era, and this beautifully engraved plan intended to present the grander work in synopsis.

This is a 1748 Giambattista Nolli city map or plan of Rome, which ranks as one of the best city plans ever produced. The map depicts the city in astonishing detail from the Villa Pamphili to the Tempio di Venere e Cupido and from the Vatican to the Porta San Sebastiano. Commissions by Pope Benedict XIV in an attempt to better understand the formal demarcations between Rome fourteen Rioni (traditional districts dated to the 12th century), Nolli's plan is impressive not only for its scale and accuracy, but because it is an ichnographic plan.
