Italian writer and historian From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cesare Orlandi (Città della Pieve, 26 luglio 1734 – Perugia, 20 dicembre 1779) was an Italian writer and historian. He was a nobleman of Fermo, Atri and Città della Pieve,[2] and he's known only for his work Delle città d'Italia e sue isole adjacenti [sic] compendiose notizie[3] (1770-1778),[1] which contains comprehensive details and high-quality landscape views of many Italian cities (a landscape view is attached at the beginning of each section and for each city). It was published in volumes over almost a decade (1770-1778). 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.[citation needed]
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 (Volume I[4]) to letter C (Volume V[5]). 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.
