Stato presente degli antichi monumenti siciliani
Stato presente degli antichi monumenti siciliani is an 1767 Italian survey of ancient Sicilian monuments, made by Andrea Pigonati, who was active 1767-1786, and probably printed in Naples for antiquarians and architects. Its engraved plates show ruined arches, columned facades and plan drawings of ancient structures, printed sideways on the page; a designer could take their hatched stone masonry, arcade rhythm and sketchy sky for classical ruin imagery.
