Nuova pianta topografica della cittá de Roma : cavata da quella del Nolli e aumentata. Benedetti, Ignazio, 1725-, etcher. [177-?] Reprint ed. of Ignazio Benedetti's 1773 plan entitled La topografia di Roma, which had been copied from Giambattista Nolli's reduced version of his 1748 Nuova pianta di Roma. Nolli's plan had been etched by Giovanni Battista Piranesi and Carlo Nolli. See Frutaz, Scaccia Scarafoni and Huelsen, all of whom discuss another reprint ed. of Benedetti's Topografia, published by Giuseppe Vasi ca. 1780. The plan proper is presented as if on a scroll of paper curling over at top edge and partly at bottom. Below the plan are depicted various buildings and monuments of Rome, including St. Peter's Square at left and Santa Maria Maggiore at right. Benedetti's original title is retained on the base of Trajan's Column at bottom center: La topografia di Roma di Giobatt[ist]a Nol[l]i dalla maggiore in questa minor tauola dal medesimo ridot[t]a da Ignazio Benedetti incisa. A new title and Monaldini's address have replaced Benedetti's longer dedication to Cardinal Gio. Carlo Boschi in a cartouche at upper left, just below Boschi's coat of arms. A table keyed to the plan contains 174 names of buildings and sites, four more than in Nolli's original version. Oriented with north at top. Relief conveyed pictorially. Getty copy hinged onto heavy stock at upper edge and matted. Small hole repaired towards upper right corner.
