Il forestiere istruito delle cose più rare di architettura : e di alcune pitture della citta' di Vicenza : arricchito di trentasei tavole incise in rame.
Il forestiere istruito is a 1780 Italian guidebook for visitors to Vicenza, written by Ottavio Bertotti Scamozzi and printed by the Turra press, illustrated with thirty-six copper-engraved plates of the city's architecture. The pictures are faint, measured elevations of palace facades showing columns, pilasters, pedimented doorways, and tiered window bays drawn in fine line. A designer could take from them the proportional logic of classical Venetian-region façades, with regular bay rhythm and layered orders.
