Le feste d'Apollo : celebrate sul teatro di corte nell'agosto del MDCCLXIX per le auguste seguite nozze tra il reale infante don Ferdinando e la r. arciduchessa infanta Maria Amalia
A libretto printed at Parma in 1769 by the ducal press, setting out the festival opera celebrating the wedding of Infante Ferdinand and Archduchess Maria Amalia, with text by Calzabigi, Frugoni and others and music by Gluck. The pictures are small engraved vignettes and a full plate of cherubs, garlands, wooded settings and a seated Jove addressing mortals, showing how eighteenth-century court spectacle used putti and classical allegory as ornament for a designer's borders, title pages and framing devices.
