For technical reasons the huge surface of the drawing is transfered on 20 copper plates of various sizes [Ghironi, Mazzi 1985] becoming, in its original edition, one of the most important and famous maps of the city. Realized according to precise criteria of geometric measurement, it can be considered, therefore, a punctual record of the urban<br />condition of Padua in the 18th century [Zaggia 2009]. <a href="https://disegno.unioneitalianadisegno.it/index.php/disegno/article/view/50/70"><em>(read more)</em></a></p> ER -
