De' disegni delle piv illvstri città et fortezza del mondo. la quale ne contiene cinquanta : con vna breve historia delle origini et accidenti loro, secondo l'ordine de' tempi
Giulio Ballino's 1569 Venetian book of fifty city and fortress plans, printed by the Bolognini Zalterii press, offers Italian-language views of famous cities and fortresses with short historical notes arranged chronologically. The pictures are woodcut and engraved bird's-eye city views, plan maps with lettered keys, and siege-style fortress diagrams, showing how designers of the period rendered walls, streets, and terrain.
