1. General plan of the Basilica of St. Peter, as Bramante designed it. This plan, commenced in 1513, was only partly executed; the architects who succeded him in the direction of the work made so many changes that, with the exception of the four great arches supporting the cupola, scarcely anything of the original design remains, and the idea itself would have been lost had not Serlio, his disciple, taken care to preserve the design. (Serlio, Libro terzo delle Antichità; Venezia, in fol., 1540, p. xxxvii. Bonanni, Historia Templi Vaticani, pl. x, p. 50.
2-3. Plan, elevation and section of the cupola, as proposed by Bramante. (Bonanni, Ibid, pl. xii and xi.)

This house was demolished at the time of the construction of the colonnade in front of this church; it is here engraved from a work entitled Pallazzi de Roma de' piu celebri Architetti, disegnati da Pietro Ferrerio, book i, p. xv.
