Cesare Orlandi
Cesare Orlandi was an Italian writer and historian. He was a nobleman of Fermo, Atri and Città della Pieve, and he's known only for his work Delle città d'Italia e sue isole adjacenti compendiose notizie, which contains comprehensive details and high-quality landscape views of many Italian cities. It was published in volumes over almost a decade. He is likely to be the "Abatte Cesare Orlandi" who edited and published an edition of Cesare Ripa's "Iconology" in 1764, which contains a portrait.
His work remained unfinished due to the author's death, occurred in 1779, and the Italian cities covered in his work span from letter A to letter C. The work is often a valuable source of information about the structure, architecture, history and social organization of many Italian cities up to the XVIII century.
