This is an image overlay of part of Giambattista Nolli's 1748 Map of Rome. The map is broken up into 12 sections due to its large size. I was not able to stitch the sections together, so I will post them individually if people are interested in this post.
This picture shows the Vatican City and the surrounding countryside. Its fascinating to see how things have chaged over the last 200 years!
Also, if someone is able to overlay the entire map using google Earth I would really love to see it.

Grizzlebee -
What a fabulous map! Thanks for posting it. I'm amazed that the plan is so accurate, It seems to line up well everywherre I look. It is facinating to look at the changes in Rome over the last 250 years. Looks like there were still a lot of open fields the area back then.
By the way, did you know that you can put all 12 sections in one folder, so you just really only need one kmz file for the entire set.

Beautiful!
Don't worry about stitching them together, because they can all be saved in one folder. And it would probably make the file size too large. Better to keep the detail and a little inconvenience than decrease the detail for a single map.
Where did you download the map?

Here's a nice site making use of the same map.

But here, the satellite image is the overlay :-)

Hey Guys,
Here is section 5 - 8 in one folder. Thanks for the suggestion!
I would add more but this site has a size limit for posts. So in the next post I will have the last four.

Here is the last installment. The pictures were taken from this web site:
http://library.berkeley.edu/EART/maps/nolli.html
The pctures arent overlayed perfectly, but I did the best I could since I'm in kind of a hurry.

There's no need to embed the overlay jpg's directly in the kmz files when those jpgs are freely available from the Berkeley site. Attached is a very small (2KB) .kmz file containing all 12 overlays as links.
WARNING: Do NOT "check" the entire folder after you download the .kmz unless you have lots of virtual memory. Each of the 12 images is about 3500x2000 pixels, and Google Earth will lock up on machines with small amounts of physical memory - at least that's the case on my teensy machine @ work. Just view the overlays one at a time & all will be well.
