This 1717 etching by Ulisse Guiseppe Gozzadini depicts the façade of the Duomo di Parma, adorned for the wedding of Elisabetta Farnese and King Philip V of Spain. The intricate details of the architectural decoration, including banners, coats of arms, and sculpted figures, are rendered with precision. The inscription at the bottom identifies the occasion and emphasizes the opulent celebration. This artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the grandeur of 18th-century Italian festive architecture.
