Studio d'architettura civile is a 1725 Roman architectural pattern book by Filippo Vasconi, printed by Girolamo Mainardi in Rome, offering plates of doorways and portals for architects and craftsmen. The four engraved plates show framed doorways with pedimented tops, carved keystones, masks, putti and volutes, drawn in fine line with dense hatching in the openings. A designer could take from them ready-made Baroque and Rococo frame profiles and ornament arrangements for doors, mirrors or niches.
