L'antiqvità di Roma : sito, imperadori, famiglie, statue, chiese, corpi santi, reliquie, pontefici, & cardinali di essa
L'antiqvità di Roma is a 1575 Venetian guidebook to the antiquities of Rome, printed by Francesco Ziletti and written by Luigi Contarini for readers interested in the city's monuments, emperors and churches. Its pictures are small woodcut historiated initials and decorative letters, with the A and N framed in acanthus foliage and the L holding figures in a landscape, showing how Renaissance printers built ornamental capitals a designer could adapt for display type or borders.
