The Theatre That Was Rome

A selection of documents from and about Rome from the 16th-19th centuries and a repository for research on the de Rossi family print shops in 17th and 18th century Rome.

This selection of documents from the collection of Vincent J. Buonanno '66, and the Brown University Library, brings together digitized printed views, maps, festival prints, architectural treatises and other illustrated books from and about Rome from the 16th-19th centuries. This site will be the repository of Francesca Consagra's research on the de Rossi family print shops in 17th and 18th century Rome to provide a digital humanities resource for the study of printing, book illustration and publishing in early modern Rome. Editor: Evelyn Lincoln.
