 In the late sixteenth century, Pope Sixtus V ( 1585-1590) was investing Rome with an unprecedented flurry of building activity, laying out streets and piazzas, raising obelisks and aqueducts, spreading around churches, fountains and villas. His sister, Camilla Peretti, also contributed to the urban development of early modern Rome by being an artistic and architectural patron of a number of projects, including Villa Montalto and Church of S. Susanna.
