⁂ Record of the winning drawings in most of the annual "Concorso d’Ornamenti” competitions of the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Milan between 1806 and 1841, featuring fountains, monuments, secular and religious metalwork, fireplaces, doors, panelling etc., all executed in the neoclassical style then fashionable. The present volume is a reissue dated 1847 (more or less corresponding in its collation to that of the British Library copy of the edition of 1843 as described in the BAL Catalogue). This copy contains the correct plate XXIV, but not the two text leaves describing the winning drawings for the years 1817 & 1818, or two added plates at the end, numbered LXX and LXXI, illustrating the winning drawings for the year 1843.
