Fontana, Domenico
Della Trasportatione dell’Obelisco Vaticano
(On the Transportation of the Vatican Obelisk)
Rome, 1590 Italian
The greatest engineering feat of the
Renaissance was the moving of a 160-ton Egyptian obelisk to a
central position in St. Peter’s Square in Rome. Domenico Fontana
planned and brilliantly executed the monumental year-long task
and memorialized it in this beautifully illustrated book.
