This impressive 3 volume set of 41 copper-plate engravings is the Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano. The work was published in Rome between 1772 and 1777 by Volpato and Ottaviani.

The work is bound in contemporary three-quarter calf, speckled paper board, red-gilt ornamentation, title label to front cover, gilt details to spine with raised bands. The 41 exceptional Vatican loggia engravings are mounted on guards.

Plates from this work are after the elaborate paintings found in the Vatican by Raphael (Rafaello) Sanzio d’Urbino, one of the most inspiring of Italian High Renaissance artists. During the early 1500s, Urbino spent his days in the Vatican decorating the pilasters found on the main floor of the interior apartments. The Loggie was one of the earliest works to show the interior design of the Vatican. Each plate was engraved by Giovanni Ottoviani after Gaetano Savorelli (painter), Ludovico Teseo (draughtsman), and Pietro Camporesi (architect).
