This captivating book delves into the profound influence of architectural design on the preservation of historic buildings, focusing on an intricate and remarkable complex in Rome: the Temple of Venus and Rome, the monastery of Santa Maria Nova, and the church of Santa Francesca Romana. As the most complete site in the Roman Forum that has survived to our times, boasting a rich architectural stratification largely intact, it stands as a testament to continuous preservation and transformation. Surprisingly, this intricate site has not been thoroughly studied in its entirety until now.
The Temple of Venus and Rome, along with Santa Francesca Romana, at the Roman Forum unveils the original designs and subsequent interventions, including the pioneering conservation efforts of Giacomo Bonis during his excavations of the Roman Forum in the early twentieth century. These projects are analyzed in the context of their significance and the intricate relationships between architects and patrons. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach encompassing architectural design, conservation, archaeology, history, and construction, this study serves as a valuable exemplar for scholars, students, and architects seeking to conduct research in architectural conservation.
