Itineraire instructif de Rome ancienne et moderne, ou, Description generale des monuments antiques et modernes, et des ouvrages les plus remarquables en peinture, sculpture et architecture de cette ville célèbre et de ses environs
A guidebook to ancient and modern Rome, written and published by Mariano Vasi in Rome in 1806 for travellers, with descriptions of antiquities, churches, paintings, sculpture and architecture. Its plates are small engravings of individual monuments such as the Temple of Vesta, the Arch of Janus and the Gallery of Cleopatra in the Vatican, drawn in plain outline with strong sunlit and shadowed masses, useful to designers studying classical columns, arches and rotunda forms.
