Description
Signed in plate at bottom Uggerius Picellonensis. On both sides legend of 104 entries. Surrounding the city plan are plans of four Patriarchal Basilicas, the Pantheon, the Colosseum, and the Baptistery of Constantine.
Example from the 1817 edition. Despite the inscription at the bottom verifié l'an 1817, this is a reprint of the first edition of 1800 without any corrections or updates. Piazza del Popolo is the most telling example of this being still drawn in the state prior to Valadier's work.
Angelo Uggeri, born in 1754 and died in 1837, was an abbot of Milan, as well as an architect and lover of antiquities. In 1788 Uggeri, observing the monuments of Via Appia, decided to study them and describe them for those who love the antiquities of Rome; he then abandoned the project to devote himself to the most important and famous buildings inside the ancient Rome, with the so-called "Giornate pittoriche". The author's aim was therefore to talk about the above-mentioned monuments through his personal method based on pictorial views, geometrical plans and historical descriptions, in order to give an overall and complete look at the monuments themselves. He also added a few plates related to some specific materials, in order to deepen certain topics that can increase the knowledge, form and use of the monument for readers. Finally, he wrote a dictionary to explain certain terms he used in the text. The texts written by Uggeri are "Monuments des environs", of which there are only two out of four volumes in the library of Venturoli, "Edifices antiques", of which there are two out of three "Monuments de Rome", of which there are four out of six, and finally "Edifices de Rome de blacies par Pie VII".
Beautiful proof, with margins, very light foxing, in very good condition.
