	1	Sutherland, Martha Regarding the Borgo Pio: An Architectural View of a Renaissance Street in Rome Fayetteville, Arkansas, U.S.A. University of Arkansas Press, 1996 155728413X / 9781557284136 Hard Cover New in New dust jacket Brand book with no remainder marks. The Via di Borgo Pio is a teeming and colorful street just outside the Vatican, running between Saint Peter's Basilica and the ancient tomb of Hadrian. The district has been at the center of Rome's life for millennia and has been the setting for many dramas, including one of Nero's revels in which hundreds of Christians were crucified or burned. Born of papal fiat in 1562, it has retained its essential character ever since as a vital, merchant-class enclave of the city. In documenting the street's history, life, and architecture with drawings and narrative, Sutherland has attempted to capture the spirit of the street before its inevitable change. Regarding the Borgo Pio includes pencil renderings of doorways and decorative elements and a set of detailed elevation sketches of all the street's buildings made on the spot in the summer of 1992. Beautifully produced, Regarding the Borgo Pio becomes a visual celebration of a threatened way of life and an architecture influenced and molded by generations of residents, the Catholic Church, and the long and turbulent history of western Europe.
