This volume collects the complete catalogue of the collection of drawings and prints of the painter and engraver Pio Panfili 1723-1812), a refined artist who was born in Porto San Giorgio - at the time Porto di Fermo - and died in Bologna after an intense activity as a decorator and illustrator. The collection includes 139 drawings and 103 engravings by Panfili, representing a great variety of products of his creativity, from ‘ornamentation’ drawings, the field in which the master excelled, to designs for jewellery, coats of arms and plaques, furnishings both liturgical and for private buildings, sketches for larger decorations of churches and palaces and architectural drawings. Next to the drawings are the engravings, the practice that Panfili mainly practised in his maturity as an illustrator of printed texts, in collaboration with the publisher dalla Volpe in Bologna, and producer of unforgettable images especially of the city of Bologna, which found in Panfili himself the undisputed witness of its 18th-19th century appearance.
Il volume raccoglie il catalogo completo del fondo di disegni e stampe del pittore e incisore Pio Panfili 1723-1812), raffinato artista nato a Porto San Giorgio - all'epoca Porto di Fermo - e morto a Bologna dopo un'intensa attività di decoratore e illustratore. Il fondo comprende 139 disegni e 103 incisioni di Panfili, che rappresentano una grande varietà di prodotti della sua creatività comprendente disegni di "ornato", il campo nel quale il maestro eccelse, fino a progetti per oreficerie, stemmi e targhe, arredi sia liturgici che per edifici privati, bozzetti di decorazioni di più vaste dimensioni di chiese e palazzi e disegni architettonici. Accanto ai disegni si collocano poi le incisioni, la pratica che Panfili praticò in prevalenza nella sua maturità come illustratore di testi a stampa, in collaborazione con l'editore dalla Volpe di Bologna, e produttore di indimenticabili immagini soprattutto della città di Bologna che ha trovato nello stesso Panfili l'indiscusso testimone del suo aspetto sette-ottocentesco.
