Roma antica distinta per regioni, secondo l'esempio di Sesto Rufo, Vittore, e Nardini : ornata in rami delle più celebri fabbriche antiche diligentemente intagliate : coll'aggiunta dello stato di Roma nel secolo XII., e delle memorie di varie antichità trovate in diversi luoghi della città di Roma scritte da Ulisse Aldovrandi, Flaminio Vacca, Francesco de' Ficoroni, Pietro Santi Bartoli, ed altri fino all'anno MDCCXLI.

Princeton University Library was pleased to contribute its publications to a unique exhibit in the Ellen and Leonard Milberg Gallery, telling the story of the book as the centerpiece of Piranesi’s artistic production. What did these volumes mean to Piranesi, who did they bring into his world, and how can the process of making them be understood throughout his career? As the central thread that connects all spheres of his enormous ambition, Piranesi’s books reveal how the artist became the foremost printmaker in eighteenth-century Europe.
