Resumo
A Daguerreotype of St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, Seen from the Piazza Di San Pietro, (St. Peter's Square), Taken by Lorenzo Suscipi. Built on the Site of a Roman Circus, the Altar in This Church Marks the Traditional Spot of the Martyrdom of St. Peter. Although There Has Been a Church on This Spot since the Fourth Century, the Current Church Was Largely Rebuilt in the Sixteenth Century. Between Easter 1840 and the Summer of 1841, Alexander Ellis Toured Italy, Taking Daguerreotype Panoramas, Landscapes and Architectural Views. In Rome, He Worked with Suscipi and Achille Morelli, Acquiring 45 Daguerreotypes from Them. He Intended to Publish Engravings Made from These as 'Italy Daguerreotyped', but the Project Was Never Realised. National Media Museum / Science & Society Picture Library. Photographer: Lorenzo Suscipi.
