Lanciani was born in Rome, although some state he was born in Montecelio, now Guidonia Montecelio.
Lanciani earned Doctor of Laws degrees from Aberdeen, Glasgow, and Harvard and a Doctor of Philosophy degree from Würzburg.
He was professor of Roman topography at the Università di Roma from 1878 until 1927. He is known today chiefly for his (1893‑1901) and the Storia degli scavi, a regular summary of Roman excavations that started appearing in 1902. His students included Giulio Giglioli.
Together with important British art historians such as Austen Henry Layard he re-edited the original 1843 guidebook to Rome for John Murray.
He received numerous honorary degrees, including those from Aberdeen, Würzburg, Oxford, Harvard, and Glasgow. Lanciani formed a core of distinguished late nineteenth-century scholars of the Roman forum including Henri Jordan, Christian Huelsen, Samuel Ball Platner, and Thomas Ashby.
Richard Brilliant described Lanciani"s Ruins and Excavations of Ancient Rome as "undiminished in vitality as a study of ancient Roman ruins" (1967). Lanciani"s great work was the production of a map of the ancient city of Rome.
The work was realized as a set of 46 very detailed maps of ancient Rome issued in 1893‑1901, which remains unsurpassed to this day, even if there have been many new discoveries since.
The maps measure 25 by 36 inches and were originally presented in a scale of 1:1000. The scheme of the map outlines the ancient buildings of features of Rome in black ink, while the modern city is plotted in red.
