Specialist Notes

First edition. A very lightly margined copy in excellent condition of this first edition, the most important dedicated to Brescia's municipal buildings, appreciated for its rich iconography. The folded plates depict views and plans of the famous Palazzo della Ragione, destroyed by fire in 1573 and subsequently rebuilt by Vanvitelli; both the original plan and the plan after the reconstruction are shown.
