Il forestiere istrutto nelle cose più rare di architettura e di alcune pitture della città di Vicenza : arricchito di trentasei tavole incise in rame

Dall'Acqua, Cristoforo, 1734-1787 · 1804 · Vicenza : Per il vendramini Mosca a spese di Giuseppe Giuliani · 17 pictures

A 1804 Vicenza guidebook by Cristoforo Dall'Acqua for visitors touring the city's architecture and paintings, published by Vendramini Mosca with Giuseppe Giuliani. Its pages are engraved plates of palace façades drawn flat and elevation-style, with arches, pilasters, balustraded windows and rusticated stone bases. A designer could take from them the classical Palladian vocabulary of symmetrical bays, rhythmic columns and layered storeys.
