MANZONI, Alessandro (1785-1873) - I Promessi Sposi Storia milanese del secolo XVII scoperta e rifatta. Milan: Vincenzo Ferrario, 1825-26. First edition in one of the early states of one of the most renowned Italian modern works: the error "questa storia" is here changed in "di questa storia" (p. 378, vol.

I, a plate with "Facciata del Regio Uffizio, e Carceri del Sig. Capitano di Giustizia" in vol. II and a plate showing the Lazzaretto in vol. III. Provenance: G.
