Il Nvovo Teatro Delle Fabriche, Et Edificii, In Prosepttiva Di Roma Moderna: sotto il Felice Pontificato di N.S. Papa Alessandro VII
Il Nuovo Teatro delle Fabriche et Edificii in Prospettiva di Roma Moderna is a 1680 Italian collection of engraved architectural views of Rome, published by Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi under the patronage of Pope Alexander VII. Its plates record churches and palaces in strict frontal or angled perspective, with captions naming each building and its architect. A designer can take from them the clean, measured linework of baroque façades, with domes, pilasters and pediments rendered in fine parallel hatching, and small figures that suggest scale in the street.
