Le chiese artistiche del Mantovano ..
An Italian guidebook of 1902 by Vittorio Matteucci, printed in Mantua by the Segna heirs, surveying the art-filled churches of the Mantuan district for readers interested in church architecture and decoration. The photographs show a relief panel with a seated Madonna and saint, a nave view with paired columns and a barrel-vaulted apse, an altarpiece set in a richly carved stone aedicule, and a carved Lamentation relief under a pedimented frame, suggesting designers can draw on Renaissance architectural framing, classical column orders and sculpted ornament.
