Item description from seller

The first edition in English, translated from the Italian by Chris Heffer and David Kerr. "Each of the 276 color aerial photographs is accompanied by its respective line map, a plan with the outlines of the buildings, street-names, contours and information about ownership. The 1:1000 scale is small enough for an accurate overall view (each plate covers over 14.82 acres), but at the same time large enough to include even the tiniest individual detail." Includes four essays providing context on the project: "A new tool for an improved city" by Paolo Marconi; "Objectives and contents of the new cartographic system for Rome" by Eugenio Baldari, Bruno Cussino, and Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi; "Mapping technology" by Gabriella Maltese and Daniele Tinacci; and "A photomap in the making" by Licinio Ferretti. Oblong quarto. Original black cloth binding, with gilt titles. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket, housed in the publisher's slipcase and the original shipping box.
