$a The work was originally issued serially, in twelve parts. Each group of plates is preceded by a descriptive letter-press. The plates are plans and views, and show the following villas: Albani (pl. 1-7), Medici (8-13), Panfili and Barberini (14-19), Borghese (20-26), Mattei (27-29), Farnesiana (30-32), Negroni ou Montalto (33-35), Del Papa, Ou Villa Pia (36-38), Madama (39-42), Sacchetti (39 bis and 43), Altieri (44, 45), Di Papa Giulio (46-49), Bolognetti (50, 51), Monte Dragone (52-54), Taverna (55, 56), Muti (57), D'Este (58-62), Casino Colonna A Marino (63), Aldobrandini (64-66), Lanti A Baglia (67, 68), Giustiniani A Bassano (69), Caprarola (70-72), Palazzuolo Di Caprarola (73-75). (It has been remarked that the views of the villas Mattei, Madama, Sacchetti and Negroni are historical reconstructions rather than representations of the buildings as they stood in Percier and Fontaine's day.) The headpieces and tailpieces all show fragments of sculpture from the Villa Albani. Fontaine had studied in Rome from 1785 to 1792, and Percier from 1786 to 1792; and their first published work was devoted to the city - Palais, maisons, et autres édifices modernes, dessinés à Rome (1798). A second edition was published in 1824. |
