Description
View taken from the very rare set Palazzi divesi nel'Alma Cità di Roma et altre, published for the first time in Rome: "ad instanza di Giombattista de Rossi in Piazza Nauona", 1638.
The collection was subsequently reprinted in 1640, 1650 and 1655 always by the De Rossi typography and also in 1773 by Carlo Losi. Example of the original edition of 1638.
The work includes engravings of famous palaces in Rome and elsewhere, including several views of Piazza San Marco in Venice, the Certosa of Pavia, the Sanctuary of Loreto.
Etching and engraving, in excellent condition.

Engraver, printer and print publisher. Active in Rome from 1583. 17 March 1598 he applied for and was granted a ten-year papal privilege for an unspecified number of unnamed religious prints.
Lauro’s earliest dated prints are of 1585, and carry the address of C. Duchetti. He also worked for Panzera in 1589. From 1590 he tried to establish himself as a publisher of his own work. He acquired and restored old plates, published copies of such classic prints as Marcantonio’ St.Paul preaching . He accepted commissions, as the map of Rocca Contrada, 1594.
He probably acquired plates from Jacob Matham which he published in 1598. His Antiquae Urbis Splendor was published in parts from 1612. In the volumes issued in 1614 and 1615 Lauro refers to having worked on it for 28 years which would mean that he began it about 1586. Important connections with Poland; he specialized in images of saints.
