The Ecclesiae Urbis series aims to publish monographs on the Catholic churches of Rome, with specific focus on their historical, artistic and religious values. Involving specialists and young researchers, the volumes intend both to bring less studied monumental sites to attention and to propose new analyses of famous buildings, revealing previously unpublished aspects of their history. The books will analyse the buildings from their origins to the present day, including their conservation and restoration history, with constant attention to their relationship with the City of Rome, both in the urban and more distinctly cultural sense, the latter inevitably focusing on the city's status as the centre of the Catholic Church.
