Capitoli dell'Accademia della pittura aperta dalla magnifica città di Verona l'anno MDCCLXVI
Capitoli is a set of statutes for the Accademia della pittura, the painting academy opened in Verona in 1766, printed there by the Moroni press for its members and students. Its pictures are decorative woodcut initials framed in foliage and flowers, plus an engraved academy medallion showing a seated allegorical woman with a book and palette beside a Roman arena, which a designer could draw on for border ornament and classical emblem motifs.
