Join architectural historian Nicola Camerlenghi for an engaging analysis of a treasured antiquity. The church that rose over the burial place of Saint Paul the Apostle was one of Rome鈥檚 oldest, largest, and most venerated. Since being ravaged by fire in 1823, the building's absence has challenged scholars and architects wishing to study its history. Recent digital technologies permit us to assemble archaeological evidence, drawings, paintings, and written accounts into a virtual reconstruction—effectively bringing the building back to life.

A native of Italy and Switzerland, Prof. Nicola Camerlenghi received architectural history degrees from Yale, MIT, and Princeton. He is currently Associate Professor in the Department of the History of Art at Dartmouth College, where he specializes in the early Christian and medieval architecture of Rome. Nick鈥檚 first book, St. Paul鈥檚 Outside the Walls: A Roman Basilica from Antiquity to the Modern Era, was published in 2018. He is a lead researcher of the 鈥淢apping Rome鈥� research group and has been a recipient of grants from Harvard鈥檚 Villa I Tatti, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Mellon Foundation and the Kress Foundation, among others.

Hosted in partnership with the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums and the Boston Athenaeum.
