Discorso sopra il givoco del calcio fiorentino
Discorso sopra il giuoco del calcio fiorentino is a 1580 Florentine treatise on the game of calcio by Giovanni de' Bardi, count of Vernio, printed by the Giunti press in Florence for a learned readership. Its pictures are woodcut and engraved decorations: an initial letter with two armoured figures, a title cartouche, a printer's coat of arms, and a copperplate view of a crowded piazza where players contest a match, useful to designers for period ornament and crowd composition.
