After studying philosophy and theology at the University of Konigsberg, Gregorovius moved to Rome in 1852, and became immersed in researching the medieval history of the city.

In his work Gregorovius discusses the political, social and cultural changes in the city from 400 to 1534, making extensive use of primary sources.
