A 1677 Roman guidebook, printed in Rome by the Mascardi press for Federico Franzini, describing the city's churches, monasteries, palaces, theatres, and antiquities for travellers and readers of Italian. Its woodcut views show church and palace facades drawn in a plain, schematic manner, with simple line hatching for stone, roofs, and sky, which a designer could use as a model for compact architectural vignettes.
