The inscription notes the college's dedication and its foundation in the late 16th century. This print was published as part of a larger collection documenting the major architectural and historical landmarks of Rome.
Giacomo Lauro was an Italian printmaker, publisher, and draftsman active in Rome during the early 17th century. He is best known for his comprehensive topographical atlas, Antiquae Urbis Splendor (Splendor of the Ancient City), which provided detailed engraved views of both classical ruins and the major Baroque and Renaissance buildings of contemporary Rome. His work is a crucial visual record of the city's architectural transformation during the transition into the Baroque era.
