Note: The arch was commissioned by King Carlo of the Two Sicilies who, as son of Isabella Farnese of Parma and King Felipe V of Spain, had ruled as duke of Parma from 1732 to 1734. It was designed by the Florentine Ferdinando Fuga, who also worked for Cardinal Acquaviva d'Aragona and whom Carlo nominated royal architect in 1759. The Sicilian printmaker and painter Giuseppe Vasi from Corleone moved to Rome in 1736, where he received the protection of Cardinal Troiano Acquaviva d'Aragona, ambassador of Spain and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies; The print shows a triumphal arch erected in honor of Pope Benedict XIV's taking possession of San Giovanni in Laterano on April 30, 1741; The ephemeral arch was erected near the Orti farnesiani in the Campo vaccino or Forum. Its opening reveals the nearby Arch of Titus; Forms part of the Collection of festival prints, 1530-1887 (Special Collections accn. no. P910002**)..
