1739, Rare, Giulio Alberoni, Memorie Istoriche della Fondazione ed Erezione del nuovo Collegio Ecclesiastico di San Lazaro, Faenza

interesting work on the College of San Lazaro in Piacenza,

Having arrived in Piacenza shortly afterwards, he began the demolition and reconstruction works,

proving himself to be an excellent architect. The first stone was laid on 4 September 1732

and construction continued until June 1746 when, during the War of the Austrian Succession,

the building was almost completely destroyed: the entrance, the staircase, the library, the church

and the sacristy. Despite this, Alberoni, now elderly, did not lose heart and in 1748, employing more than

100 workers at a rapid pace, he managed to complete his project and in August 1751 he subjected the future

clerics of the College to examination, choosing 18. Great work, printed with great elegance;

unobtainable on the market and also in Italian libraries, as only 11 copies have been recorded, some incomplete.
