Becchetti, Pomponio, Curti, Francesco, 1610-1690, Mitelli, Giuseppe Maria, 1634-1718, Erede di Domenico Barbieri · 1677 · In Bologna : Per l'erede di Domenico Barbieri · 13 pictures

A 1677 Bologna funeral oration and poetry collection in Italian, compiled for the Collegio Ancarano's academy honouring Prince Pietro Farnese, with ornaments likely by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli. The four pictures are symmetrical woodcut-style headpieces and tailpieces: a grotesque mask among scrolls, a two-handled urn flanked by flaming finials, a sunburst medallion with swags, and a bearded mask between scrolling volutes. A designer could draw on their mirrored scrollwork and framing for decorative borders.

Farnese, Pietro, 1639-1677
