Gli edificj antichi di Roma : ricercati nelle loro piante, e restituiti alla pristina magnificenza secondo Palladio, Desgodetz, ed altri più recenti : conl'aggiunta di qualche moderna fabbrica ad uso degli artisti, e de' viaggiatori
An 1800 Roman architectural survey by Tommaso Piroli, a Roman engraver, reconstructing ancient Roman buildings through their plans for artists and travellers. The plates pair plans with elevations and sections, drawn in restrained engraved line on pale paper. A designer could take the clean orthogonal layouts of colonnades, halls and rotunda plans as a model for strict geometric diagrams.
