4to (225x174 mm). 59, [1] pp. Unbound and unsewn. A very good, wide-margined copy.

This oration was read in the hall of the Pesaro Academy on the anniversary of the Italic coronation of Napoleon in the presence of general Julien, the vice-prefect, and other civil and military authorities. At the end there are verses by Bartolomeo Borghesi, Girolamo Zappi, Filippo Ronconi, Pietro Petrucci, Eduardo Bignardi, Pierfrancesco Serra, Luigi Ciacchi, and Francesco Cassi.

Giulio Perticari was an Italian poet and writer. In 1812 he married Costanza (1792-1840), the daughter of Vincenzo Monti. In the linguistic controversies of those years Perticari defended Monti's ideas, fighting the return to the fourteenth-century language advocated by the purists and the Accademia della Crusca.
