NOLLI, Giambattista (c.1692-1756) - La nuova topografia di Roma. Rome: Giambattista Nolli, 1748. The most beautiful of the eighteenth-century maps of Rome and the first of the city based on geodetic principles. Along with Rocque's map of London and Bretez's map of Paris, Nolli's map is considered one of the masterpieces of eighteenth-century urban cartography of any European city. Essential for the study of Roman cartography, it remained a model for all city maps until the twentieth century and was the first to distinguish between magnetic and astronomical north and to clearly differentiate between archaeological remains and contemporary buildings. The work was commissioned to Giovan Battista Nolli in the 1740s by Abbot Diego de Revillas, around whom a group of scholars, mathematicians, and antiquarians gathered in Rome. The map incorporates the new division of the city into 14 districts, established by Pope Benedict XIV (to whom the work is dedicated) in 1744, and was completed in 1748, the year of its publication. The engravings were carried out by Giuseppe Vasi, Rocco Pozzi, Pietro Campana, and Carlo Nolli, based on designs by Giovan Battista Nolli, Giovanni Paolo Pannini, and Stefano Pozzi. 12 squares backed on cloth (1725 x 2061mm). Map engraved on 12 sheets, modernly framed, with allegorical figures and monuments of Rome, and the dedication to Pope Benedict XIV at the base of a column, all within an elaborate Rococo frame (without the commentary, the cartouche in the lower right corner in facsimile, some slight staining, minor restorations mostly in the margins and without losses). IT NOLLI, Giambattista (c.1692-1756) - La nuova topografia di Roma. Roma: Giambattista Nolli, 1748. La più bella delle piante settecentesche di Roma e la prima della città basata su principi geodetici. Insieme al piano di Londra di Rocque e al piano di Parigi di Bretez, la pianta del Nolli è considerata come uno dei capolavori della cartografia urbana del XVIII secolo di qualsiasi città europea. Fondamentale per lo studio della cartografia romana, rimase un modello per tutte le piante della città fino al XX secolo e fu la prima a distinguere tra nord magnetico e astronomico e a differenziare con chiarezza grafica tra i resti archeologici e gli edifici contemporanei. L'opera venne commissionata a Giovan Battista Nolli negli anni Quaranta del Settecento, dall’abate Diego de Revillas, attorno al quale gravitava a Roma un’associazione di eruditi, matematici e antiquari. La mappa integra la nuova divisione della città in 14 quartieri, istituita da Papa Benedetto XIV (a cui l'opera è dedicata) nel 1744, e venne completata nel 1748, anno della sua pubblicazione. Le incisioni furono eseguite da Giuseppe Vasi, Rocco Pozzi, Pietro Campana e Carlo Nolli, su disegno di Giovan Battista Nolli, Giovanni Paolo Pannini e Stefano Pozzi. 12 fogli incisi all'acquaforte intelaiati, (1725 x 2061mm). Mappa incisa su 12 fogli, intelaiati modernamente, vignette con figure allegoriche insieme ai monumenti di Roma e la dedica a Papa Benedetto XIV sulla base di una colonna, il tutto in una elaborata cornice rococò (senza il commentario, il riquadro con cartiglio in basso a destra in facsimile, alcune lievi macchie, lievi restauri perlopiù marginali e senza perdite).

Est: €150 - €300
Giambattista Nolli - Stefano Pozzi, New Topography of Rome 114x136 cm - each plate 284x450 mm Reproduction of the most beautiful eighteenth-century maps of Rome by Giambattista Nolli on twelve sheets applied to cotton canvas, as a wall map. Indexes missing. Nolli began the survey in 1736 and engraved the map in 1748, on behalf of Pope Benedetto It was by far the most accurate description of the City produced up to that time and was the first to differentiate with graphic clarity between the archaeological remains and contemporary buildings. Rome appears in its Renaissance form, with vast areas within the ancient walls still occupied by villas with extensive fields, orchards and gardens. The Colosseum is located in open countryside while the Circus Maximus and the Forum are shown in an unearthed state. The lower sheets are almost entirely occupied by a rich decoration meticulously engraved by Stefano Pozzi (Rome 1699 - 1768). In the lower left corner there is a composition of classical monuments including the Colosseum, the Arch of Constantine, the Forum and Trajan's Column, in front of which are allegorical figures and at the bottom the she-wolf with Romulus and Remus below shape of broken ancient statues; in the center dedication to Benedict XIV; the lower right corner describes the allegorical representation of the Church sitting in front of Michelangelo's set of buildings on the Capitoline Hill.

NOLLI. Nuova pianta di Roma data in luce da Giambattista Nolli l'anno 1748. NOLLI, Giovanni Battista. Nuova pianta di Roma data in luce da Giambattista Nolli l'anno 1748. Roma, 1748 Acquaforte e bulino. 32 fogli uniti insieme per un totale di 1800 x 2810 mm, intelati. Piccoli margini. La composizione comprende la mappa della città e due indici, Indice dei numeri e Indice Alfabetico della Pianta. Nella parte inferiore compaiono scene figurate e allegoriche: al centro, la dedica al Papa Benedetto XIV e il titolo “La Nuova Topografia di Roma”. Qualche lieve brunitura e sporadico foxing. Spettacolare carta di Roma, capolavoro epocale della cartografia. La mappa de Nolli è una pianta icnografica della città, in contrapposizione alla prospettiva a volo d'uccello, stile di rappresentazione cartografica dominante fino ad allora. La mappa raffigura la città con dettagli sorprendenti: il Nolli ottenne questo risultato utilizzando tecniche di rilevamento scientifico, accurati disegni di base e incisioni minuziosamente preparate, una scala architettonica precisa. La mappa di Nolli è la prima mappa accurata di Roma dall'antichità e cattura la città al culmine delle sue conquiste culturali e artistiche. La mappa è composta da dodici lastre di rame squisitamente incise che misurano, combinate, 176 cm per 208 cm. La mappa include quasi otto miglia quadrate della città densamente costruita e del terreno circostante ed identifica, tra l’altro, quasi duemila siti di importanza culturale. La mappa del Nolli è una straordinaria conquista tecnica che rappresenta una pietra miliare nell'arte e nella scienza della cartografia. Rilievi moderni e sofisticate immagini satellitari hanno confermato l'accuratezza della mappa del Nolli entro il più piccolo margine di errore. La mappa non solo registra le strade, le piazze e gli spazi urbani pubblici di Roma, ma delinea anche centinaia di interni di edifici con planimetrie dettagliate. La mappa è stata utilizzata nella pianificazione governativa della città di Roma fino agli anni '70; è stato utilizzato come mappa di base per tutta la mappatura e la pianificazione romana fino a quella data.Luigi Ficacci 22, John Wilton-Ely 1007 (1095-5), Millard Architectural Collection, Italian and Spanish Books, p. 234-239.

Vollständige Ausgabe des fantastischen Nolli-Plans von 1748 -- Nolli, Giovanni Battista. Nuova pianta di Roma. Kupferstichplan der Stadt Rom. 2 Kupfertafeln (Titel und "Avviso"), 4 Kupfertafeln (Index) sowie 12 doppelblattgroße Kupferstich-Segmentkarten, 1 doppelblattgroße Übersichtskarte, 4 Kupfertafeln (Index). Plattengröße der Kartensegmente 43 x 67 cm. die 8 Index-Tafeln (einfach) und die 13 Karten sind in den Schnittkanten oben (doppelt) nummeriert von 1-34. 49,5 x 37,5 cm. Halbpergament um 1900 mit goldgeprägtem RTitel, breiten Pergament-Ecken und Marmorpapier-Deckelbezug (nur minimale Abschabungen). Rom, Nolli, 1748. -- Brunet IV, 95 ("assez recherché"). – Der in seinem Detailreichtum teilweise noch bis heute unübertroffene Stadt- und Grundrissplan der Ewigen Stadt von Giovanni Battista Nolli (1692-1756), der nicht nur die Straßen und Gebäudekomplexe bis hin zu jeder hervorstehenden Mauerzunge dokumentierte, sondern auch gewissermaßen in die öffentlichen Gebäude, vor allem die Kirchen hineinging, auch auch die Innenräume zu vermessen. So finden sich auf dem Plan nahezu alle Grundrisse der antiken Tempel und der weit über hundert Kirchenbauten vom Frühchristentum über die Romanik bis hin zur Renaissance und dem Barock minutiös wiedergegeben. -- -- Der aus Como stammende Nolli war als Ingenieur und Architekt ausgebildet worden, arbeitete zunächst als Stadtvermesser in Mailand am örtlichen Kataster, bis er dann nach Rom weiterzog. Dort entwickelte er die Idee einer exakten Kartierung der Stadt und deren Darstellung in einem großen Kupferstichplan, den er Benedikt XIV. widmete. Der Papst hatte ihn ermächtigt, auch alle privaten Grundstücke, darunter Paläste, Klöster, Gärten und weitere Liegenschaften kraft eines offiziellen Mandats zu betreten und zu vermessen. So finder sich jede Straße, jede Allee, aber auch jeder Feldweg, jede Villa, jedes Haus und jeder Schuppen, der etwa auf den Weinbergen vor der Porta Pia stand - mit genauester Bezeichnung und Angabe der Flurstücke und der Weinbergbesitzer: "Villa Altieri", "Sito del Circo di Flora", "Villa Mandosi", "Villa Barberini", "Vigna Lancelotti", "Vig. de PP. della Minerva" und vieles, vieles mehr. -- -- Zusammen mit seinem Sohne, Carlo Nolli und Giuseppe Vasi entstand bis 1748 der monumentale Plan, der auch die neue Gliederung der Stadt unter Benedikt in 14 Bezirke zeigte, die bis auf den heutigen Tag im barocken Stadtbild sichtbar blieben. -- Die großartigen Vignetten zeigen ein Capriccio der bedeutendsten römischen Bauwerke mit der Trajanssäule, dem Tempio dei Castori auf dem Foro Romano, dem Konstantins- und Septimius Severusbogen, dem Kolosseum, sowie dem Kapitol mit den Bauten Michelangelos und der Personifikation der Roma. – Vorhanden ist hier die vollständige Ausgabe aller Segmente, mit dem doppelblattgroßen Übersichtsplan, Titelei und den acht ausführlichen Index-Tafeln, die die Orientierung leicht ermöglichen. Die zwölf doppelblattgroßen Kompartimente ergeben zusammen einen Plan von ca. 171,5 x 206,5 cm. Die Bindung in Buchform war dafür verantwortlich, dass dieses Exemplar des fantastischen Romplans bis heute nahezu unbeschadet überlebt hat, wie nur ganz wenige Exemplare. Vier der Indexblätter mit winzigen Lochschabungen im weißen Rand unten rechts, lediglich der Übersichtsplan leicht gebräunt und gering sprenkelfleckig, die Kartenkompartimente nahezu ohne Stock- oder Fingerfleckchen, außergewöhnlich wohlerhalten und frisch sowie bemerkenswert breitrandig.

Fundamental for the study of Roman cartography, it remained a model for all the maps of Rome until the twentieth century and it was the first to distinguish between magnetic and astronomical north and to differentiate with graphic clarity between archaeological remains and contemporary buildings.

This copy is exceptionally enclosed by commentary unlike the copies that are usually found on the market. . The very large engraved map of Rome with commentary measures, (1735 x 2720mm). The internal part only (1735 x 2010mm). Printed on a series of sheets then joined together and applied on cloth (some losses and heavilly restored).
