An 1763 Roman engraved plate from a book on the fireworks display staged for Prince Lorenzo Colonna, printed in Italian and credited to Paolo Posi, Giuseppe Palazzi and Giuseppe Vasi, held by Heidelberg University Library. The two pictures show a symmetrical garden facade with two towers, a central arched trellis of vines and pavilion, and fireworks bursting above, with spectators and small figures in the foreground, offering a designer a clear model for formal baroque symmetry and festival staging.
