The Background
The overall goal of the website is to explore a relatively unknown, untranslated sixteenth-century Roman guidebook called Itinerarium Urbis Romae. The original work is a 48-page manuscript written in Latin by a Florentine Franciscian friar, Fra Mariano da Firenze in 1517, during the days of Pope Leo X. The manuscript describes nineteen itineraries that guide pilgrims of Rome through the city.
