A Close-up Look at the Map: Explorer 5.x - Netscape 4.x | colofon


In the margins around the map are found,  "architectural sketches", drawings illustrating the urban changes of the last decades (Fiumicino airport, the Olympic stadium, the Mosque, the  Synagogue etc.). They were created by the skillfull hands of the famous artist Riccardo Tommasi Ferroni and elegantly engraved by Patrizio di Sciullo and Giuseppe Greco.

The plan was produced on nine copper plates, each 50 x 60 cm, printed by hand on acid-free paper. The prints can be joined to form the full plan. The full page measures 174 x 190 cm, the printed part 154 x 170 cm.

Three hundred numbered copies have been printed..
