TERMINDANDO GLRIOSAMENTE IL REGGIMENTO DI PADOVA SUA ECCE... by Valaressi, Alysi. First edition. An unusual and rare poem dedicated to Pietro Manin at the end of his tenure as governor of the city and province of Padova. It is beautifully illustrated with an architectual title-page and a wonderful engraved vignette showing the animal world responding to the sunrise. The engraved frontispiece and the two vignettes are of a primitive but effecting style. Covers faded.
