A burial chamber caved in Tufa with a simple façade was discovered in 1674 about five miles outside Rome. It was decorated with paintings and stucco ornament. The "Pitture antiche" of Bellori and Bartoli comprises 35 plates which are explicated in 35 concise chapters. The brief review in the "Giornale de’ letterati" (1680) is not an analytic discussion of the book but rather serves to celebrate the entire achievements of Bellori and Bartoli in the field of ancient art and archaeology.Electronic full texts of two texts by Bellori from the "Le pitture antiche de sepolcro de Nasonii nella via Flaminia" are included in FONTES 27: (1) „Introduttione alle pitture antiche“ (pp. 5-6)(2) „[Commentario alla] TAVOLA V“ (pp. 11-16
