Old City Map of Rome by Wenng, 1846: St Peter's Basilica, Colosseum, Roman Forum, Piazza Navona, Tiber River max100min36 Strasbourg (Argentoratum)Rom. Rioni, Regionem od. Abtheilungen Rom's is Gustav Wenngs 1846 portrait of Papal Rome, a scarce Munich engraved plan prepared for Ernst Frsters Handbuch fr Reisende in Italien. In vivid tints and crisp linework, Wenng color codes the rioni, letting the Tibers sinuous course organize the citys narrative from north to south. A precise legend deciphers churches, palazzi, and antiquities, while an inset orients travelers to the surrounding approaches.
