La pianta grande di Roma (The Large Plan of Rome), also known as The Nolli Map by Pietro Campana, Carlo Nolli, and Rocco Pozzi

La Pianta Grande di Roma — The Nolli Map (c. 1748)

Walk Rome as the 18th century knew it. This monumental figure–ground plan—La pianta grande di Roma, widely celebrated as The Nolli Map—renders the Eternal City in luminous black and white: streets and piazzas open like courtyards of light, churches and public interiors drawn as continuous civic space, courtyards and cloisters revealed in quiet geometry. At once forensic and poetic, it’s a city laid bare to its stone, a perfect union of measurement and memory.

More Than a Map – A Testament to History

This is not just wall art—it’s the master key to Rome’s urban fabric. Every hatch, courtyard, and basilica footprint records how the city actually worked: what was public, what was private, how neighborhoods knitted together. Ideal for architects, urbanists, historians, educators, designers, and Rome lovers, this map is both a visual treasure and a foundational teaching tool for understanding streets, blocks, and civic life.

Display it in studios, classrooms, offices, museums, libraries, or your home, and invite reflection, study, and conversation.
