We thank the colleagues of Musei in Comune for the exceptional access to the site many years ago with our summer film students, before its closure for restoration. The new opening promises to be an exceptional opportunity to study Roman civilization, a short metro ride from central Rome!

I've seen pictures of this model in textbooks over 30 years ago and have always wanted to see it in person. See you in 2025! Thanks.

This is wonderful. I imagine the creator having such a good time making this. This needs to be a google maps street view project.

I imagine someone's wife 100 years ago, becoming unbelievably annoyed at her husband's mammoth, unending hobby project...

How much marble do you want?
Rome: “All of it.”

It extraordinary what the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans accomplished thousands of years ago with cranes, pulleys and leverage.

The level of detail is amazing and makes you realise how vast the City of Rome was in its final stages.

Rome today is wonderful, but it is incomparable to the beauty it was in ancient times.

Tabletop terrain builders eat your heart out, Gismondi was knocking it out of the park almost a century ago with no 3d printing/modeling software, no plastics, no enormous second hand market of cheap plastic toys that can be repainted and repurposed, etc. All from scratch and by hand.

There is just something about a physical model that virtual models don't have, solidity for one. And the expanse of it! Thank you! 🌺

Brussels Art & History Museum has also a Rome model. The model of Rome is a model depicting the city of Rome at the end of the 4th century, created by French architect Paul Bigot. He made a total of four models, the finest of which is on display at the Museum of Art & History in Brussels. The 1/400-scale model measures 11 by 4 metres. Paul Bigot (1870-1942) won the Premier Grand Prix de Rome in 1900, which allowed him to spend five years at the Villa Medici in Rome. Each year he sent a piece of work to Paris from there, and the last year Bigot made a scale model of the Circus Maximus. Based on this, he began work on a maquette of the entire city of Rome. The unfinished maquette was first exhibited in 1911 at the International Exhibition in Rome. In 1937, the finished maquette was shown at the Paris World's Fair. Bigot continued to work on his maquette thereafter, incorporating new, archaeological insights. Bigot made four plaster models of his maquette, two of which were lost. Bigot's uncoloured working model is kept at the University of Caen. The only remaining coloured model is in the Museum of Art and History in the Cinquantenaire in Brussels. This model was refurbished and given a new presentation in 2019.

That's my Roman Empire quota for the day done, and it's only 10am. Thanks!

I saw Pompei at age 14. My dad was in US Navy stationed at Naples.,in 1974. since then Ive been a Romanist. Later studied pre law so, appreciated Roman contribution to are systems of law. I recommend any Rome enthusiast to visit Pompei once at least. The craftsmenship and engineering achievement of ancient Rome will blow your mind. Plus Naples I recall had really outstanding food. Im now 65 and I want to take my granddaughters to see Pompei. Inlaws turned out to be Italian, but I think giving a scholar a view of the kernal of western civilization inspires them and I want my grandkids to be motivated before sending them off to college.

I can’t even imagine how much research, work and passion must have gone into this masterpiece.

It really makes you realize the people of rome were not primitive in any way.

It also was featured prominently in the 1950 film “Quo Vadis.”

Ahh, Gismondi. I love this model!

I have seen many model builders here on Youtube, but the scale of this project takes the prize.

I saw this quite some time ago. It's in the EUR area of Rome, which was the 'new city' built in the '30s during Mussolini's time, reflecting the Fascist architecture that was so prevalent at the time. It was fabulous to see this incredible model, though at the time it needed a good dusting and better lighting. There are a couple of photo posters of the model available all over Rome, which is where I first found out about it. The EUR area is very interesting in its own right and well worth the short train trip. By chance or intention, EUR was used as the Allied HQ when Rome was liberated in 1944.

Now imagine if you can somehow shrink yourself and walk around the model.

Imagine if this was colorized appropriately, digitized, and put into a vr app to be able to walk and move around the city as it actually was in ancient times. I would love that.
