Memorie istoriche is a 1739 Italian account printed at Faenza by Agapito Poggi, describing the founding of the San Lazzaro ecclesiastical college near Piacenza by Cardinal Giulio Alberoni for training priests. Its engraved plates show the college's ground plan with a legend of numbered rooms, a sectional elevation of a building with a scroll-shaped key, and faint outlines of the layout on blank pages. A designer could take the orderly, symmetrical plans, the decorative cartouche and the clean sepia engraving style as models for architectural diagrams.
