 This monumental cadastral map of the Roman countryside (Agro Romano), composed of six sheets and nearly two meters wide, depicts the Campagna Romana of the 17th century with extraordinary precision. Created by Giovanni Battista Cingolani della Pergola for the land registry commissioned by Pope Alexander VII, it was first published in 1692 and reissued in 1704 by Domenico de Rossi, with engravings by Pietro Paolo Girelli. The map records estates, farmhouses, roads, aqueducts, and topographical features, accompanied by a detailed land index listing over 400 properties with their exact measurements. Richly illustrated, it includes allegorical cartouches, sea deities, scientific instruments, and symbols of topographical knowledge.

Considered one of the most comprehensive and artistically refined cadastral representations of its time, the work blends scientific rigor with Baroque beauty. Dedicated to Marquis Francesco Maria Ruspoli, the map reflects the political economy of the period, in which the Church relied on noble landowners to manage agriculture and supply grain to the city of Rome. Reprinted in 1770 and used as a reference by major cartographers like Giambattista Nolli, the Topografia Geometrica dell’Agro Romano remains a foundational document for understanding land administration and the visual culture of papal Rome in the early 18th century.
