Le antichita della citta di Roma: raccolte sotto breuita da diuersi antichi & moderni scrittori
A pocket-sized Italian guide to the antiquities of Rome, compiled by Bernardo Gamucci from ancient and modern writers and printed in Venice by Giovanni Varisco in 1580 for antiquarians, travellers and architects. The small woodcuts, after drawings attributed to Giovanni Antonio Dosio, show arches, amphitheatres, temples and baths in angled perspective, built up from dense parallel hatching, with lettered keys, carved inscription panels and bare ground lines.
