Description
View of the series Il nuovo splendore delle fabriche in prospettiva di Roma moderna : fatte restaurare dalla fel. mem. di Papa Alessandro VII : nuouamente intagliato sotto il felice pontificato di N.S. Papa Innocentio XI copiate dalle stampe di gia intagliate da Gio. Batt. Falda da Valdugia; da Matteo Gregorio Rossi, Romano ... [Matteo Gregorio Rossi] in Piazza Nauona all' insegna della Stampa, the year 1686 [-1688], published in 3 volumes between 1686-1688, by Matteo Gregorio de Rossi.
After the incredible success of Il nuovo teatro delle fabriche, et edificii, in prospettiva di Roma moderna. Libro primo (secondo, terzo) a work in 3 volumes, with engravings by Giovanni Battista Falda, published by Gian Giacomo de Rossi of the Tipografia alla Pace, between 1665 and 1669, the De Rossi printing house in Piazza Navona, directed at the time by Matteo Gregorio, attempted a commercial operation that was then widespread: to publish a similar work that could compete with that of Falda.
Thus were born the 3 volumes of Il nuovo splendore, published between 1686 and 1688, with engravings made by Giuseppe Tiburzio Vergelli copying those of Falda, or imitating the style in those of his original creation. The work is dedicated to Urbano Barberini, prince of Palestrina; the title openly declares the source of the plates: copiate dalle stampe di gia intagliate da Gio. Batt. Falda da Valdugia. A fourth volume containing the fountains of Rome, again copied by Falda, came out in 1690 with the title Le fontane pubbliche delle piazze di Roma disegnate da Gioseppe Triburno Vergelli relanatese intagliate da Pietro Paolo Girelli Romano.
Etching, printed on contemporary laid paper, with margins, in excellent condition.

Giuseppe Tiburzio Vergelli (Recanati, 1629 – 1700 circa)
|
Giuseppe Tiburzio Vergelli was born in Recanati on October 12, 1629 to the sculptor Tiburzio and Lucrezia Botani. Trained as an architect, in the years 1658-77 in Loreto he was in charge of the buildings of the Holy House, also designing some towers along the Romagna coast, perhaps those wanted by Clement X in 1673 to defend against Turkish incursions. In Rome, over the course of 22 years, he worked on perspective and architecture, overseeing the construction of some noble residences. Among other activities he gave to the presses Le due regole della prospettiva pratica del Vignola, con i commentarii del rever. p. maestro Egnatio Danti [...] epilogate da Giuseppe Tiburtio Vergelli [...] (Roma, per il Mascardi, 1682), in compendio, and Le fontane pubbliche delle piazze di Roma moderna disegnate da Gioseppe T. V. recanatese. Returning to his hometown, he was appointed public depositary of Recanati in August 1695. His date of death is unknown.
