Alessi, Palladio and G.A. Rusconi, burnt down in 1575, and re-designed by L. Vanvitelli in 1775. Other sections describe the Palazzo di Broletto, Nuova Piazza and the Cattedrale.

The appendix reprints documents and letters by Sansovino, Alessi, Palladio, Rusconi, Titian, Todeschini, Vanvitelli, A. Covo, D.L. Buzzi, D.P.M. Bagnatore and P.D.L. Binago.
