[MILANO] - ANTOLINI, Giovanni (1756-1841) - [Opera d'Architettura ossia progetto sul foro che doveva eseguirsi in Milano]. Milan: Bettalli, 1801 (?).

Probably the first version of the famous plates depicting the visionary project of the architect Antolini for the Foro Bonaparte in Milan. The plan would have revolutionized the area around Castello Sforzesco but it remained on paper due to the stratospheric construction costs. The plates, created by Alessandro Sanquirico, Fernando Albertolli, Filippo Antolini, Giuseppe Cariani and others had a troubled publishing history: they were initially printed and marketed, between November 1801 and 1804, in loose sheets in Milan by Federico Agnelli and then published with the types of Bodoni in 1806 in Parma with the title "La descrizione del Foro Bonaparte" and later in 1814 in Milan by Bettalli with the title "Progetto sul Foro che doveva eseguirsi in Milano dall’architetto professore Giovanni Antolini". The present collection could be the original edition printed by Agnelli or the Bodonian version in variant B reported by SBN with the plates without numbering. For the study of the work, please refer to the thesis: "il foro Bonaparte, l'architettura della città" (2014) by arch. Daniela Arrigoni.

Folio elefante oblongo (610 x 920mm). 13 of 14 aquatint plates in sepia numbered in pen in the margins (the 11th illustrating the Simplon barrier is missing) and without the 10 black and white aquatint plans (numbered: 1, 4, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24). The copy has been compared with the digitized edition of the Bertarelli Collection (some foxing and marginal staining, ancient creasing and slight tears at the edges). (13)
