Abstract

Between the catastrophic flood of the Tiber River in 1557 and the death of the "engineering pope" Sixtus V in 1590, the city of Rome was transformed by intense activity involving building construction and engineering projects of all kinds. "Engineering the Eternal City" explores de processes and people involved in these infrastructure projects - sewers, bridge repair, flood prevention, aqueduct construction, the building of new, straight streets, and even the relocation of immensely heavy ancient Egyptian obelisks that Roman emperors had carried to the city centuries before. This portrait of an early modern Rome uncovers the images and maps that proliferated as antiquarians, practitioners, and learned humanists argued about topography and measured ancient ruins. It also examines the many conflicts, failures, and successes that shaped the city, as decision makers tried to conrol not only Rome's structures and infrastructures but also the people who lived there. Physicians, civic leaders, jurists, cardinals, popes, and clerics engaged with painters, sculptors, architects, printers, and others as they discussed, argued, and completed the projects that remade Rome.
