Giacomo Lauro was an engraver, printer and print publisher. Active in Rome from 1583, when described as 'intagliatori di rame'. 17 March 1598 he applied for and was granted a 10-year papal privilege for an unspecified number of unnamed religious prints (Leuschner). His 'Antiquae Urbis Splendor' was published in parts from 1612.
