The city was designated the capital of Napoleonic Italy in 1805, and the Foro Bonaparte was part of a larger redevelopment project that consisted of cutting wide roads through the medieval center and constructing monumental government buildings and shopping areas that linked together the major neighborhoods of the city. The Foro was to be located in the area around the Castello Sforzesco.and Napoleon ordered the outer walls of the Castello to be updated with an ordered classical arrangement and a temple facade plan. Encircling this area Antolini designed 12.buildings to include a theater, museum, bathhouse and stock exchange.the plan was scaled down due to its high cost by Luigi Canonica in 1802."--Allison Lee Palmer ; Contents (English) : The publisher to the reader -- The Foro Bonaparte, a Jacobin utopia in Milan -- The first plans for the Foro Bonaparte (1801) -- La Bastiglia di Milano, un audace impresario, L'amico Sommariva -- The drawings of the Foro Bonaparte -- Designing the city : The 1801 Economic and Political Plan -- An architect for the Republic amid Doric and Freemasonry -- A man from the Romagna at the court of Pope Pius VI, The Doric comes to Faenza, The advantages of Freemasonry -- The Marengo column, A discussion with the First Consul, The schemings of the Commission -- Contrasting Pistocchi, Rectangle versus circle, A project in progress -- Enter the military, The astute Canonica, A question of money -- From project to model, The Description of the Foro Bonaparte -- Opposition to Antolini, the Letter from Citizen X to a friend -- Barabino, Canonical, Rossi : plans for the modification of the Foro Bonaparte -- Milan, Archivo Storico Civico Fin-de-siecle projects -- From utopia to bourgeoisie, Fin-de-siecle in Foro Bonaparte ; color tipped-in plates, 18 fold-out plates, several in full color ; artwork by Felice Giani, Giuseppe Camporesi, Domenico Lucchi, Hubert Robert, Feliz Albites, Alessandro Emanuele Marvuglia, Domenico Santi, Giovanni Lazarini, Fernando Bonsignore, Jacques-Louis David, Giacomo Pinchetti, Franz Hogenberg, Giovanni Battista Clarici, Arcangelo Lavelli, Adele Chavassieu d'Houdebert, Domenico Aspari, Vincenzo Magnani, Vincenzo Berenzi, Paolo Bargigli, Andrea Appiani, Luigi Rados, Giuseppe Pistocchi, Giuseppe Longhi, A.-G.-L.

VERNERO?OCLC Number / Unique Identifier:558753573.FIRST EDITION OF THE FINEST ITALIAN WORK ON FRUIT. "It is extremely rare and its interest is enhanced by the knowledge that it is one of the few examples outside of England in which aquatint has been used successfully" (Dunthorne). "Before Gallesio began this enormous work, published in fourty-one parts from 1817 to 1839, he had already published his Traité du Citrus, which explains the reason for the lack of oranges and lemons in a catalogue of Italian fruit. Gallesio's fruit garden in Savona was not his main occupation, for he was a lawyer and a civil servant as well as a botanist, whose experiments on the development of varieties of fruit were quoted later by Charles Darwin. Gallesio's Pomona was a major contribution to the study of pomology in Italy" (Raphael Oak Spring Pomona).
