This
initiative follows the
heritage of an old Roman tradition that
calls for a new map of the Eternal city
to be drawn up for the cyclical
reoccurence of the Jubilee. This
"grand map" offers an exact
image of the city and documents its most
recent urban transformations both civic
and ecclesiastic while at the same
time maintaining an artistic
integrity as it was etched and
illustrated. The
Vatican Library boasts a long experience
of scientific study on the iconography
of the city. On many occasions the
Library has been both the promoter and
editor of prime studies on this subject
and for years has been developing an
important activity of reproducing maps
of both Rome and the Vatican.
