Luigi Vanvitelli gave it a monumental facade as a setting for the fountain. It was there that Princess Zinaida Volkonskaya threw her lavish parties in the 1830s. The central portion of the palace was demolished to provide room for the large fountain in 1730.[1] The Palazzo Poli houses an important collection of copper engraving plates from the 16th century to the present.[2] The Palazzo also houses the Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Definitions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaper thickness and quality: - Heavy and stable\u003cbr\u003ePaper color : - off white\u003cbr\u003eAge of map color: -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColors used: -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeneral color appearance: -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaper size: - 18in x 14in (460mm x 360mm)\u003cbr\u003ePlate size: - 11 1\/2in x 9in (290mm x 230mm)\u003cbr\u003eMargins: - Min 1\/2in (12mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImperfections:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMargins: - None\u003cbr\u003ePlate area: - None\u003cbr\u003eVerso: - None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackground:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIl Nuovo Teatro:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne of the most important architectural projects of the seventeenth century was the urban renovation of Rome. Under the brilliant leadership of Pope Alessandro VII (1655-1667), Rome dramatically emerged as one of the most modern and beautiful cities of the new Baroque age. Within several decades spacious roadways were constructed, monumental buildings arose, and many public squares appeared with elaborate fountains and monuments. To be sure, this massive undertaking was meant to underline the absolute power of the Papacy but it also brought forth a new flowering of Italian art and architecture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Nuovo Teatro was initiated in 1665 to depict the new Rome in a series of etchings. What it gave to future generations was a magnificent historical record of views etched by two of Italy's greatest architectural artists. The printing and publishing of these important etchings was entrusted to Giacomo de Rossi (1626-1691), the head of the most dominant Roman publishing house. Sons and nephews of de Rossi, in fact, continued the publishing house until 1738 when the business was sold to Pope Clement XII to form the basis of the Regia Calcografia.) Altogether, four sets of Nuovo Teatro were created during the seventeenth century. Volumes one (35 etchings) and two (17 etchings) were both published in the year of 1665 and dealt mainly in views of the new piazzas, gardens, terraces and their surrounding buildings. Volume 3 (38 etchings) was published in 1669 and concentrated upon the newly constructed churches of Rome. Every plate from the first three sets was both designed and etched by the influential architectural artist, Giovanni Battista Falda (1643-1678). For reasons unknown the fourth and final volume (52 etchings) did not appear until 1699. It was published by Giacomo's successor, Domenico de Rossi, and featured views of the palaces and stately homes of Rome. Each plate was designed and etched by the famous architect and etcher, Alessandro Specchi (1668-1729)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60222299963776,"sku":"nkn1793015550177","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/2245\/3632\/files\/1665-de-rossi-original-antique-architectural-plan-print-of-poli-palace-trevi-rom_1.jpg?v=1793015557","url":"https:\/\/www.oakandlumen.shop\/products\/1665-de-rossi-original-antique-architectural-plan-print-of-poli-palace-trevi-rome-italy","provider":"khawangani","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
