Different surveys that take over a century to elaborate: from 1620, when Martino Ferrabosco published his renderings on the basilica, to 1743 when Giovanni Poleni and Luigi Vanvitelli did their surveys for their analysis on its static behaviour and for the restoration of the Vatican dome.</em></p>}, number={3}, journal={diségno}, author={De Sanctis, Aldo and Lio, Antonio and Totaro, Nicola and Zappani, Antonio A.}, year={2018}, month={Dec.}, pages={203–212} }
