Overview

A distinct line of both physical and conceptual ""continuity with antiquity"" connects the architectural developments above the Carcer Tullianum (later known as Mamertino) to the creation of the San Giuseppe dei Falegnami complex, which is the subject of the volume. Situated on the eastern slope of the Capitoline Hill, adjacent to the Arch of Septimius Severus, the church's position established it as a significant focal point within the visual landscape of the Roman Forum prior to the construction of the Santi Luca e Martina church. This volume delves into the history of both the architectural complex and the institutions that promoted its construction and sustained its presence over the ensuing four centuries. The study uncovers an artistic process beginning in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, in which the visions of different actors merged with the contributions of numerous artists.
