Rome in the Footsteps of an XVIIIth Century Traveller
with links to his etchings(a detail of the map showing Castel Sant'Angelo)
The Map is one of Vasi's last works. It is not a map in a technical sense, it is rather a bird's eye view
with more than 300 points of interest clearly identified.
The view is taken
from the West, so top is East, left is North and right is South.
Clickable division of the Map in 16 sections: C1 and D4 do not contain monuments and therefore they are not clickable
Section A1 - Villa Albani
Section A2 - Porta Pia
Section A3 - Porta S. Lorenzo
Section A4 - S. Croce in Gerusalemme
Section B1 - Villa Giulia
Section B2 - Trinità de' Monti
Section B3 - Palazzo del Quirinale
Section B4 - Terme Antoniane
Section C2 - Porto di Ripetta
Section C3 - Isola Tiberina
Section C4 - Porta S. Paolo
Section D1 - Porta Angelica
Section D2 - S. Pietro
Section D3 - Porta S. Pancrazio
From each section you can then reach Vasi's etchings showing the monuments of that section.
