Tempesta's Plan of Rome is on twelve folio sheets, and measures some 1.08 by 2.43 metres when pasted together. For practical reasons (viz to make his plan two sheets high), he elongates the city. Originating in 1593, the plan was sufficiently popular to see a second impression in 1606, whence the present images, and again in 1648 and 1664. detail, St. Peter's and Vatican area
