Relazione o sia diario di tutto quelle che e stato osservato in Roma nelle venuta del Re delle due Sicilie Ferdinando IV e la Regina Maria Carolina Arciduchessa d'Austria..., 1791, Rome.

Account of the Easter visit of Ferdinand I, King of the Two Sicilies to Rome. The first half of the manuscript describes the preparations for the royal visit and gives details about the route, the number of soldiers guarding the visitors and costs of the various entertainments (including operatic performances and fireworks). Also included in the account are 25 "memoria" or working papers and briefs including: a list of royal visitors to Rome dating back to 1682; a list of presents given by the Pope to previous visitors; a list detailing costs of horse trappings and banners for processions; and folding plans showing the seating arrangements for various ceremonies and banquets in the Sistine Chapel, the Sala Regia and before the altar at St. Peter's. At the back of the volume are printed announcements of the fireworks display and the official appearance by Pope Pius VI, as well as the score for the opera "La morte di Oloferne" by Pietro Guglielmi.
