Notes
The drawings are in two series, the first numbered 1-141, the second numbered 1-97 (recent numeration). The first series contains designs for Baroque architectural motifs (interiors, exteriors, gardens, ornamental vases). There are a few drawings of church altars or shrines within rich architectural framing. The second series contains designs for the theatre.
Ebria Feinblatt and Donald Oenslager questioned the attribution to Giuseppe Maria Mitelli (1634-1718).
