Alessandro Astesano, Urban VIII (1568-1644), Pope 1623-1644, Port of Civitavecchia, Annual Medal, 1632, gilt, bronze, 1 11/16 in. (4.3 cm.), Every year on June 29, in conjunction with the feasts of Saints Peter and Paul, the Vatican issues an annual medal celebrating what the Pope deemed to be the most significant event of the year. In 1632, during the eleventh year of his reign, Urban VIII chose to boast Rome's military and economic prowess, by highlighting the improvements to the fortifications at Civitavecchia, a naval base and a trade hub, on the celebratory medal. Though the reverse inscription claims the renovations have rendered the port complete, NVNC RE PERFECTO [It is now perfect], future papal administrations continued to fortify the port.
