A collection of occasional verse commemorating the untimely death of a young member of the Marioni family, Carlo, dead at age 20. (Carlo is entombed in the Marioni palazzo at Canareggio near Verona whose walls were decorated by Giandomenico Tiepolo when Carlo was a child.) The opening poem in the collection is by the great proto-Romantic Ippolito Pindemonte, addressed to Carlo's mother (as are most of the other verses in the collection). Other contributions are by notable Veronesi such as Mario and Leonardo Miniscalchi. The book is bound in one of the signature Remondini papers of the late 18th century. (Inventory #: 6346)
