Il sontvoso apparato fatto dalla magnifica citta di Brescia nel felice ritorno dell'illv. & reuerendiss. vescouo suo il cardinale Morosini : con la spositione de' sensi simbolici che in esso si contengono
A 1591 Italian festival book from Brescia by Leone Pallavicini, describing a triumphal arch built to welcome home Cardinal Giovanni Francesco Morosini, with symbolic explanations of its decorations. The pictures are engraved elevations of the arch, with columns, niches, pediments and figures in relief. A designer could draw on their classical architectural framing, arched openings and sculptural programmes for ceremonial gateways, title pages or ornamental borders.
