Rodolfo Lanciani (1845-1929) was an archaeologist and topographer who studied Ancient Rome. Stanford University, in collaboration with Italy's Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism and several other institutional sponsors, recently unveiled this digitized collection of hundreds of photographs, prints and other materials from the Rodolfo Lanciani Archive that offers a glimpse into the history and architecture of Rome. Perhaps the best way to start exploring this collection is by perusing curated essays, which visitors can find under the tab labeled The Collection. These essays provide context to collection materials by offering a history of both Lanciani's work as well as Roman architecture and culture. From here, visitors can browse over 4,000 items via the Explore section of the website. Visitors are invited to zoom in to view each image in this collection in great detail. In addition, the collection is designed to allow visitors to download images or embed images in another web page with ease.
