Guida per la città di Padova all'amico delle belle arti
Giannantonio Moschini's 1817 Venetian guidebook to Padua, published by the Gamba brothers in Venice, was written for art lovers visiting the city. Its engravings are rotated architectural views of palazzi and civic buildings with arcaded facades, figures and carriages in the street, and a designer could take from them the plain, measured elevation style of early nineteenth-century Italian topographic prints.
