Della trasportatione dell'obelisco vaticano et delle fabriche di nostro signore papa Sisto V, fatte dal cavallier Domenico Fontana, architetto di Sva Santita, libro primo
Della trasportatione dell'obelisco vaticano is a 1590 Roman folio by the architect Domenico Fontana, printed by Domenico Basa and dedicated to Pope Sixtus V, recording the move of the Vatican obelisk and the pope's building works. Its plates are engraved architectural elevations, plans and details of façades, tombs and doorways, drawn in precise line with scale bars and dividers, giving a designer a model of late Renaissance classical proportion and ornament.
