*LASCA (Anton Francesco GRAZZINI dit). La seconda cena ove si raccontano dieci bellissime, e piacevolissime novelle no mai piu stampate all' illustriss. Sig. Giovanni Bouverye cavaliere inglese. In Stambul, Apresso Ibrahim Achmet Stampatore del Divano, con approvazione, e privilegio della Formidabile Porta Ottomanna, dell'Egira 122. In-12 of viii-220 pp. Marbled calf, ornate ribbed spine, title page in red marble, triple gilt fillet framing the boards, red tr. (period binding). Minor damage to cut, very small loss at head, one corner worn. Rare edition published in Florence in 1743 by Abbé Andrea Bonducci, of these short stories written in imitation of Boccaccio, and containing comic and curious pictures of 16th-century Florentine manners. Grazzini (1503-1584), known as Le Lasca, was one of the founders of the Accademia degli Umidi and later the Accademia della Crusca in Florence around 1540. He wrote numerous works, including poems, burlesque poems, carnival songs and comedies. From 1542, he published his works under the pseudonym "Il Lasca" (the roach) or "Leuciscus". John Bouverie (c. 1723 - September 19, 1750) was a British antiques dealer and art collector, responsible for a collection of drawings known today as the "Bouverie Collection", which passed to his sister Elizabeth, without issue, then to Sir Charles Middleton, and finally to Middleton's son-in-law, Sir Gerald Noel, father of the first Earl of Gainsborough. Bouverie died in Guzel Hissar on September 19, 1750, while traveling in the Ottoman Empire and observing ancient remains in the company of Robert Wood and James Dawkins. Minor foxing. A fine copy.

Pair of armchairs; attributed to VALENTINO (Astragal, Italy,1829-, Venice, 1902); Venice, c. 1880. Walnut and partially gilt embossed leather. They have tow on the inside. The original leather has been preserved and one of the moldings of the front pillar is missing. Measurements: 78 x 57 x 57 cm (x2). Pair of armchairs made of molded and carved walnut wood. Both have the same design of curved openwork backrest decorated with fantastic animals leaning on each other. The upper part of the backrest is decorated in high relief with a mask. The legs are baluster-shaped and have vegetal detailing on the knees. The style of this pair of chairs is very reminiscent of works by Valentino Besarel in fact in the book "Valentino Panciera Besarel (1829-1902) Storia e arte di una bottega d'intaglio in Veneto" you can see a very similar fireplace front made in marble. "Besarel" is a nickname of popular origin used to distinguish the artist's family from other homonymous lineages, but it has come to dominate even the surname, to the point that even in the artistic world he is known simply as "Valentino Besarel". The last representative of the "Besarel" Panciera was Valentino's daughter Caterina, who died in 1947. The Besarel family had been engaged in wood carving for generations: his great-grandfather Valentino (1747-1811), a pupil of Giampaolo Gamba "Zampòl" and disciple of the master Andrea Brustolon, his grandfather Giovanni (1778-1842) and also his father Giovanni Battista (1801-1873) had been carvers; the latter had achieved some local fame by leaving works in several churches in the Zoldo area. Valentino received his first training in his father's workshop, to which he added, in the early 1840s to the school of the Belluno draughtsman Antonio. The turning point came when he met Giuseppe Segusini, who saw him work while, following his father, he decorated the archdeaconry church of Agordo. Thanks to the architect from Feltre, he was able to attend the Accademia di Venezia from 1853 to 1855, although he was unable to complete his studies. His first independent works, also commissioned by Segusini, were Saints Peter and Paul for the high altar of the parish church of Tiser and the Four Evangelists for the cathedral of Belluno (1855-1856). Besarel worked for a long time in his native land, until in the sixties he moved to Venice, where he received great honors and European fame, to the point of becoming an official supplier to the main monarchies of the continent. Not even the disability he suffered with the loss of four fingers could interrupt Valentino's activity. They have tow in the interior. The original leather is preserved and one of the front pillar moldings is missing.

MONTI, Vincenzo. Verse. Parma, Stamperia Reale, 1787. Two parts bound in a 4to volume; 225x150 mm; hardback binding. Vol. I: pp. [26], 106; Vol. II: [12], 99, [1]. Frontispieces with intaglio vignette. Slight flourishes on some pages. Good copy in beards and wide margins. The collection of "Verses" is divided into two parts: the first is dedicated to the Marchioness of Matallana née Lady Conock; the second to Don Luigi Braschi Onesti, nephew of Pius VI.The present edition contains, included here for the first time in the collection, the ode Al Signor di Montgolfier and the canzonetta La fecondità (which appeared in 1784 and 1786, respectively) and, in the original edition, the canzonetta Amor vergognoso (in Part Two). As in other exemplars (thus not due to bookbinder's error) Bodoni's notice to readers and Monti's dedication to Pius VI were inserted after the poem "La bellezza dell'Universo".Gamba, 2618; Bustico, nos. 4 and 5; Brooks, 331; Giani, catalog of authentic Bodoni editions, no. 30; Zumbini, 241-2. In addition, "Against England." Autograph poem signed by Vincenzo Monti.Ms., [1802]. One page in 8vo; 218x137 mm. Elegant handwriting in brown ink. At end signature: "V. Monti." On laid paper with watermark. Good conservation. The sonnet, written in 1802, was published in 1803 under the title "To England." This manuscript version contains, in addition to the attenuated title, eight variants from the published sonnet: "l'erba la terra, instead of "erba la terra"; "Pel sentier de' ladron," instead of "Per la via de'"; "esci alla guerra.", instead of "go out to war!"; "Stagion verrà", instead of "Tempo verrà"; "Se pur stanco", instead of "Se stanco"; "Quel tuo di sangue", instead of "Questo di sangue"; "e tu, briaca e cruda", instead of "e tu, feroce e cruda". We can assume, therefore, that this is an early version, later reworked by the Author. Andrea Penso: "The fiercest attack conducted by Monti toward England dates back to 1803, the year of publication of the sonnet All'Inghilterra. The text constitutes a violent invective directed at Great Britain, guilty, according to the poet, of having broken the Treaty of Amiens. In fact, both countries involved were unhappy with the results of the treaty, and both blamed each other for its breach. Monti, after all, did not mind an accurate reconstruction of events, and indeed immediately wrote these verses to support Napoleon's cause. Once again, the words used by the poet are extremely harsh and violent, to the point that they would be reused during fascist propaganda in the 20th century against England.
