Trattato nuouo delle cose maravigliose dell'alma città di Roma : ornato de molte figure, nel quale si discorre de 300. & più chiese
A 1610 Roman guidebook by Pietro Martire Felini and Prospero Parisio, printed in Rome by Bartolomeo Zannetti, describing more than 300 churches for visitors and pilgrims. Its woodcut façade views show church fronts in plain black-and-white line, with columns, arcades, round windows and pediments set out as simple architectural elevations. A designer might take from them the clean geometry of classical Roman church fronts, with their rhythm of pilasters, arches and oculi.
