A new dedication at lower right to Andrea Bentivogli replaces that to Pietro Clavarino. Above the view of Rome are 12 small views of principal cities of the Papal States, and to left and right are six rectangles with depictions of Roman social types. At upper left: ROMA. Relief conveyed pictorially. The compass indicates north to the left. The map is printed on two sheets that are joined at vertical edges and is attached at foot to two additional sheets of letterpress text, titled: Descrizione dell' alma città di Roma. The title continues "... chiamata capo del mondo ed ora sede del Sommo Pontefice." This continuation differs from the version cited by Huelsen and Scaccia Scarafoni, as does the wording of the imprint at foot of letterpress section.
