Catalogue Note
PRIMA E UNICA EDIZIONE. Apologia di Onorati in difesa del lavoro di deviazione del Tevere fatto eseguire dall'ing. Cornelio Meyer tra la zona di Porta del Popolo e la Vigna di Papa Giulio che avrebbe dovuto evitare e contenere i frequenti straripamenti delle acque. Tale modifica, che si inseriva in un programma di navigazione del fiume romano, venne aspramente criticata da svariati ingeneri romani.
