Frammenti di ornati per li giovani principianti nel disegno
An 1783 Italian pattern book of architectural ornament, published in Bologna by several engravers including Pio Panfili and Flaminio Minozzi, meant for young beginners learning to draw. Its plates show classical capitals, acanthus leaves, rosettes and carved brackets drawn in clean outline with fine hatching. A designer could borrow the crisp acanthus scrolls, rosette medallions and bracket profiles as ready-made building blocks for period-style borders, moldings and decorative panels.
