Publisher's stamp to title.A total of 10 vols. Near uniform later red paper covered boards, gilt, yellow edges. Slightly rubbed. Bookplates and stamps to endpapers/frontispiece versos of Antonio Moreno Martin.A fascinating group of provincial Italian almanacs, from Faenza and Foligno, demonstrating the popularity of astrological data in the nineteenth-century. The almanacs contain a variety of astrological commentary, with some pleasing woodcut illustrations, plus tables of lucky numbers, calendars (including feast days and astrological/ meteorological data), and prognostications for the seasons, harvest, health and sickness, business, and eclipses. Like their English-language counterparts they were often issued under pseudonyms. Issued annually from 1772, Il Giro Astronomico, for example, purported to be the work of the fictional astronomer and astrologer Pietro Casamia. Each volume of Il Giro Astronomico contains a different engraved frontispiece showing Casamia at work with telescopes and other instruments, others have rather cruder woodcut portraits to the titles. Ephemeral and rarely kept, all issues of these almanacs are rare, appearing usually singly (if at all) in institutional collections outside Italy.
