Guida e compendio storico della città di Verona e cenni intorno alla sua provincia
A guidebook to Verona printed in Italian in 1825 by Giuseppe Bennassuti, published by the Tommasi press and aimed at travellers and residents wanting the city's history. Its plates are engraved architectural elevations of Veronese palaces and gates, including the Guastaverza, Porta Nuova, Palazzo della Gran Guardia and Palazzo Bevilacqua, each drawn flat with labelled titles. A designer could take from them the crisp hand-ruled linework, orderly rhythm of arches, columns and shuttered windows, and the classical facade layouts useful for vintage architectural schematics.
