Etching. 395 x 545mm (15½ x 21½"), with large margins, uncut.
A record of the ancient Ponte Salario, a bridge over the Aniene, a tributary of the Tiber, north of Rome. Although the side arches dated from the 1st century BC, the central arch was rebuilt by the Byzantine general Narses (a collegue of Belisarius) in 565. In 1798 Napoleonic troops tore down the balustrade, including an ancient inscription, leaving notches shown here. Less than a decade later the tower (a medieval addition) was demolished; French troops broke the arch to stop Garibaldi's advance in 1849; and the bridge was finally destroyed when the Papal army blew up the central arch in 1867. The present bridge dates from 1874.

[Sant'Urbano alla Caffarella] Veduta dell' Antico Tempio dedicato alle Novo Muse da M. Fulvio Nobiliore __in oggi S.Urbano fuori di Porta Capena, due miglia.
Rossini dis. e inc.
Roma 1823.
Etching. 400 x 530mm (21 x 15¾"), with large margins, uncut.
Although described by Rossini as a Temple of the Muses, it is now believed the original building was a tomb or a temple dedicated to Faustina, wife of Antoninus Pius (emperor from 138-161). After it became a church dedicated to Sant'Urbano in the C10th its remote location (now on the edge of Caffarella Park) meant it was often abandoned. It was acquired by the city of Rome in 2002 and restored again.

[Santa Maria dè Calderari] Unici avanzi dei Portici di Filippo. a S. Maria in Cacaberis.
Rossini dis. e inc.
Roma 1822.
Etching. 460 x 365mm (18 x 14½"), with large margins, uncut.
A Roman doorway flanked by Doric columns, beside what was Santa Maria dè Calderari, the first church in Rome dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. 'Calderari' refers to the main industry of the local parish, making cauldrons and saucepans; 'Cacaberis' is a slang variation. Although the church was demolished in 1881 during the building the Via Arenula, the doorway still exists in 'Via di Santa Maria dè Calderari'. In front of the doorway is a little scene of street musicians, drawn by Bartolomeo Pinelli to add life to Rossini's architecture.
