An 1762 Italian engraved design by Paolo Posi, Giuseppe Palazzi and Giuseppe Vasi, published in Rome, showing a temporary festival structure called a Kiosk built for a fireworks display commissioned by Lorenzo Colonna. The plate shows a symmetrical, multi-tiered pavilion in a wide garden setting, with a crowd gathered before its arcaded base. Its layered facade, pediments, urns and rhythmic arches offer a strong model for classical architectural composition and baroque stage-set perspective.
