Le cento città d'Italia. Descrizione storica, politica, etc
An Italian illustrated gazetteer of the hundred cities of Italy, written by Ariodante Manfredi and published in 1871 for general readers wanting historical, political and topographical accounts of each town. The 184 wood engravings are street-level views of cathedral squares, loggias, avenues and waterfronts with small figures for scale, alongside civic coats of arms set in landscape vignettes with scrolling foliage, useful as architectural backdrops, place emblems and hatched skies.
