The late 16th century Collegio Nazareno at the center of the print, belonging to the archbishop of Nazareth (hence the name of the college), was turned over to the fathers of the Scuole Pie in 1622 and became a school for the education of sons of the poor. In later centuries it became a school for the elite. Via del Nazareno (2) takes its name from the college, and leads off to the right toward Via del Angelo Custode, which was widened into Via del Tritone in the late 19th century. In the left foreground Via di S. Andrea delle Fratte (3) leads to that church, Plate 146. On the right the late 17th century Palazzo del Bufalo (1) stands on the site of an earlier building belonging to that family, labeled Domus Bubali on the 1551 Bufalini map. While the arms of the Del Bufalo (a buffalo head with a ring in its nose) is visible on the keystone over the main door, an undecipherable crest appears above the central window.
