About this title

Synopsis

New Guide Of Rome And The Enirons According To Vasi And Nibby: Containing A Description Of The Monuments, Galleries, Churches Etc. Carefully Revised And Enlarged, With An Account Of The Latest Antiquarian Researches by Luigi Piale is a nineteenth-century encyclopedic travel guide through Vatican City and the Roman environs, offering an itinerary-based survey of monuments, sacred spaces, and palatial collections. It links Renaissance and Baroque art to papal patronage, describing St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican Palaces and gardens, the Sistine Chapel, Raphael Rooms, and the Belvedere collections, along with major Vatican museums (Pio Clementino, Gregorian) and the Vatican Library, grottoes, and relics. It extends to surrounding sites such as Tivoli, Frascati, Albano, Veii, and Bracciano. Rich in architectonic and art-historical detail, the volume catalogs artists and architects (Michelangelo, Raphael, Bernini, Bramante, Maderno, Peruzzi), patrons, and the evolution of spaces from ancient temples to modern sanctuaries. Emphasizing preservation, restoration, provenance, and the fusion of pagan antiquities with Christian relics, it serves scholars and travelers seeking metadata on places, periods, and artists.
