Grand Tour of Rome
In the 1700s, the city of Rome became a hub for rich European tourists, eager to see the ruined monuments of ancient Rome. This revitalized Rome's economy, and building projects skyrocketed. This rich tourism market allowed mapmakers to create some of the earliest most detailed city maps in the history of cartography. Of note, the mapmaker Giambattista Nolli created the most detailed map of Rome that had ever existed until that point, detailing hidden alleys, the insides of churches and buildings, garden paths, and even the ruins of ancient Rome's dilapidated bridges. Using his map as the basis, this projects seeks to recreate the city through his eyes, and those of other mapmakers; notably Giovanni Battista Falda and Giuseppe Vasi. Using their work, this project will recreate the city of Rome and its surrounding countryside in 1:1 scale.
This is a revitalization of my old project: 17th Century Rome - Based on Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood & Historical Maps

Update #5: Return from Rome!!! : by louielabarbe 08/26/2021 10:04:19 amAug 26th, 2021
After almost 10 years of working on Rome reconstruction projects; I finally returned from Rome a couple of weeks ago. After taking over 3000 reference photos over a period of 5 days, I return to the project with a completely new appreciation for the city. Rome is an enormous city, and I didn't get to visit every site, but for those I did, I took very detailed photos which will be fleshed out in their Minecraft counterpart. Stay tuned for more updates. This week I started work on the Pantheon and Villa della Rotonda, which is where I stayed during my time in Rome.
