A 1676 tournament book printed in Ferrara by the heirs of Giulio Bulzoni Giglio, recording a pageant staged to honour Cardinal Sigismondo Chigi during the wedding of Beatrice Bentivoglio and Count Ercole Pepoli. The engravings by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli and collaborators show costumed riders, elaborate floats and theatrical stage settings. A designer could draw on their dense crowd compositions, ornate armour and feathered helmets, cloud-borne tableaux and classical architectural framing for period pageant or costume work.
