Following a trip to Italy in 1820, Letarouilly published his monumental work, appeared between 1840 and 1855, illustrated with prints of the buildings of Rome that he executed.
Scholars debated the dates and the architects involved in the project: Vasari wrote that Giulio Romano was in charge of the workshop and the figure of Pietro Rosselli has also been associated with the final design. Pagliara has more recently excluded the presence of Rosselli and limited the involvement of Giulio Romano only for the period following the death of Raphael. Pagliara therefore states that Raphael was the architect of the project and designed the facade in 1514-1515 (see Bibliographic References).
