AP180.S1.1965.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Cooperativa di abitazione, a built eight-storey low-income housing cooperative of friends and acquaintances on Via Paravia in the San Siro district of Milan, Italy. Riva worked on this housing complex from 1965-1967. The project is considered his first major project and was the first residential complex that he designed. This project is also known as 37 Via Paravia and was realized in collaboration with Bianco Bottero. The project is recorded through studies and design development drawings, including elevations, axonometric drawings, sections, floor plans, furnishing details, structural details, and electrical plans. The project series also includes drawings for a later alteration to the living room bookcase design, around the mid-1970s.

DR1987:0026
Description:
- During the moving of the obelisk, Fontana issued two prints, DR1987:0026 & DR1987:0027. The first (this print), was published in March 1586 just prior to the lowering, and distributed with a companion tract by Filippo Pigafetta. It shows both the original and final positions of the obelisk as well as the device proposed by Fontana for its transportation. This involved the use of a twin timber tower (the castello, as it was called, is seen in the central portion of the print) that was erected on either side of the obelisk and was used for lowering and raising the monolith. The second print (DR1987:0027) appeared in August, during the raising, and showed the lowering of the obelisk, as it had occured in late April, with a detailed inventory of all the men and horses involved in the operation. The transportation was begun on 30 April and was completed on 10 September, according to Fontana's description of the process in his book, 'Della trasportione dell'obelisco vaticano' of 1590, a work illustrated by Bonifazio and Guerra, the two artists responsible for the execution of these prints.
