Relatione del pomposo apparato fatto da PP. Carmelitani dell'antica osseruanza, in S. Maria di Piazza di Torino : con occasione della solennizata canonizatione di S. Maria Maddalena de Pazzi vergine e monaca dell'istessa osseruanza
This is a 1669 Italian account printed in Turin by Bartolomeo Zavatta, describing the elaborate decorations the Carmelite friars of S. Maria di Piazza made for the canonization of Saint Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi. The three pictures are small letterpress woodcut ornaments: a scrolled acanthus-and-shell cartouche, a basket of flowers and fruit, and a large inhabited initial S with a townscape. A designer could draw on their compact, reversible ornament and the decorative lettering style of seventeenth-century Italian print.
