Esercitazioni architettoniche sopra gli spettacoli degli antichi : con appendice sul bello in generale ...
An 1808 Italian architectural treatise by Pedro Marquez, published in Rome, on ancient theatres and spectacle buildings, written for architects and students of classical design. Its plates show measured plans, sections and elevations of Roman and Greek theatres, with floor plans of seating tiers, stage buildings, and column details. A designer might take the precise line-drawn plans of semicircular and horseshoe seating, the radiating stair and aisle layouts, and the ornamental column and capital studies as structural diagrams for classical or amphitheatre-inspired graphics.
