Memorie per servire alla storia dell'architettura milanese dalla decadenza dell'impero romano fino ai nostri giorni
Memorie per servire alla storia dell'architettura milanese is an 1843 architectural history of Milan printed in Milan by Tipografia Bernardoni, with text and plates by Giulio Ferrario, Giuseppe Elena and Alessandro Sanquirico. Its frontispiece is a stone-carved arch framing a view of the city's cathedral spires, street and columns. A designer might draw on its ornate classical framing, with caryatid-like figures, scrolled cartouche and sculpted putti, as a model for decorative title pages.
