Falda, Giovanni Battista, approximately 1640-1678, Venturini, Giovanni Francesco, b. 1650, Rossi, Giovanni Giacomo de, 1627-1691 · 1665 · [Rome : G.G. de' Rossi] · 27 pictures

Il nuouo teatro delle fabriche et edificii in prospettiua di Roma moderna is a 1665 Roman series of engraved city views published in Rome by Giovanni Giacomo de' Rossi, with plates drawn and engraved by Giovanni Battista Falda and Giovanni Francesco Venturini, dedicated to Pope Alexander VII. The plates show piazzas, church facades and palace fronts in one-point perspective with small strollers, carriages and workers at street level, giving a designer a clear model for Baroque urban space and the scale of figures against architecture.
