The forty-eight plates of the Disegno nuovo di Roma moderna con un breve compendio delle sue antichità by Giovanni Maggi and Paul Maupin were published in 1625, two years after Maffeo Barberini was elected pope, taking the name Urban VIII. This digital reconstruction of the map’s original state gathers all 48 plates, never previously assembled as one sheet.
