Abstract

Albeit that papal reigns offer a relatively neat way to circumscribe the chronological scope of a research topic, a peculiarity of the extensive scholarship on Rome is the absence of monographic studies on the cultural patronage of individual popes. This concerted effort is then shown to have been coordinated with new plans by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger to fully fortify the Vatican precinct, assuring its security, as a medal cast to coincide with these works confirms, and the testimony of Sernini further drives home. As the city fabric records to this day, numerous arterial street names attest to the ambitions of pontiffs to leave their mark, through acts of patronage that implied urban renewal on a scale that could only be achieved thanks to their supreme power.
