Memorie del calcio fiorentino : tratte da diverse scritture e dedicate all' Altezze Serenissime di Ferdinando principe di Toscana e Violante Beatrice di Baviera
Memorie del calcio fiorentino is a 1688 Florentine book on the historic football game of Florence, compiled from earlier writings by Pietro di Lorenzo Bini and others and printed in Florence at the ducal press for Prince Ferdinand of Tuscany and Princess Violante Beatrice of Bavaria. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: symmetrical frames with flanking grotesque figures and urns, and scrolling acanthus borders with putti, suited to designers seeking baroque decorative panels and page furniture.
