Born in 1701, Giambattista Nolli was an architect who was enamored of Rome in a way that few people have ever experienced. He spent thousands of hours creating his La Pianta Grande di Roma ("the great plan of Rome"), which became his remarkable 1748 map of the Eternal City. The actual map consists of twelve engraved copper plates that measure six feet high and seven feet wide when combined. Nolli was very careful to record the streets, squares, and various other public spaces throughout the city. This website, created by a team of dedicated scholars at the University of Oregon, allows users to examine the map in all its glory, along with a number of interactive layers that document specific building types and census data. First time visitors can launch the map engine from the homepage, and after that, they may wish to look at some of the thematic sections, which include "Natural Features", "Architecture", and "Cartography". The site also includes some fine articles on the map and its legacy, including "The Walls of Rome" and "The Nolli Map as Artifact".
