Roma ricercata nel suo sito is a 1693 Roman guidebook by Fioravante Martinelli, printed in Rome by Gio. Francesco Buagni for the bookseller Francesco Leone, listing churches, palaces, theatres and monuments for travellers. The woodcut views show façades, arcaded classical ruins and walled streets, with small figures in the foreground; a designer might take their simple line hatching and clear architectural perspective as a model for cityscape illustration.
