Falda, Giovanni Battista, Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi, et al. Nuovo Teatro delle Fabriche, et Edificii, in Prospettiva di Roma Moderna<\/em>, Rome (Date in Luce da Gio. Iacomo Rossi dale sue Stampe in Roma), 1665.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Architecture Library, with the support of Italian Studies, Art, Art History & Design, and Humanities funding, is pleased to announce our newest addition to the collection, Giovanni Battista Falda\u2019s Nuovo Teatro della Fabriche<\/em> from 1665<\/a>. This volume consists of the first three books in the series, bound together, which are a collection of engravings detailing the contemporary architecture of Rome. The volume, in its present form, is incredibly rare with only twelve copies housed in American collections.<\/p>\n

The illustrations contained in the volume are of the Renaissance and Baroque architecture of Rome, and include general views, facades, interiors, and details of churches, monasteries, palazzi, public buildings, monuments, piazzas, as well as other sites of interest in the city. This volume, important in itself because of its study of Rome, also complements the current holdings of the Ryan Rare Book Room, which houses Falda\u2019s Palazzi di Roma<\/em>, a counterpart to Il Nuovo Teatro delle Fabriche<\/em>, and together these books present a more complete picture of Renaissance and Baroque Rome.<\/p>\n

This volume is also an important acquisition for the expansion of our SPQR-ND mobile application (available for iPad and iPhone) and other digitization projects we have underway in the Architecture Library. This work provides the reader with a snapshot of Rome in the seventeenth century and, in the words of Professor Carroll William Westfall, this book \u201csharpens one\u2019s understanding of Rome as a place where change is constant and each era has important things to teach.\u201d Cities are not static places and each new project leaves its mark. This work documents Rome in one of its most noteworthy periods.<\/p>\n
