&* see E[ncyclopaedia of] V[isual] A[rt] 4:625-628, eg: ‘The answer lies in the backwardness and instability of Rome throughout the 14^th century [ce] and in the first decades of the 15^th. The popes, by going to Avignon, deprived the city of stable government; its economy did not flourish and it had a miniscule population.... The popes finally returned in 1420[ce] and slowly put in hand the renovation of the city; the jubilee year of 1450[ce] was a spur to the refurbishing and building of a modern city.’
